The authors reported that BPC 157 alone (without carrier) ameliorates healing of tendon and bone in the experimental rat model, with macroscopic, microscopic, and biomechanical assessments showing recovery of the tendon-to-bone unit that was not observed in untreated controls [3]

Unlike anti-inflammatory drugs that can impair healing, TB500 reduces inflammation while still supporting repair particularly helpful where chronic inflammation would otherwise stall recovery
Common reasons for deficiency include: Low intake particularly diets low in whole grains, legumes, leafy greens or animal products Gut health issues like low stomach acid, SIBO, coeliac disease, IBD, or other factors affecting absorption Medications such as the contraceptive pill, metformin or antacids, which can deplete B vitamins Chronic stress increases demand for certain b vitamins, including B5 and B6 Vegan or vegetarian diets higher risk of B12 deficiency, which can be corrected through supplementation Genetic reasons some mutations on certain genes can increase a persons need for B vitamins This is why I always recommend testing before supplementing
