BPC-157 Peptide for liver healing

Hi all,

I have been researching into peptides recently and stumbled across some information on a peptide called bpc-157. It is a healing peptide that is found in the gastric juices that naturally occur in small amounts in the stomach. Bpc-157 is what they named it, standing for body protection compound, and has been produced as a administrative peptide either orally or subcutaneously.

After reading some more about its effects, I found some articles that talk specifically about its hepatoprotective properties. Studies have found it actually helps the liver heal and lab tests, conducted on rats, have shown it reduces liver legions and other bile duct related injuries. It's hard to find information on whether this quantifies as a possible remedy for liver fibrosis, as a liver legion to my understanding is different.

Either way, this seems to be quite a astonishing discovery, atleast for me, and I am surprised there has been no mention of this compound or the findings that have been published on this forum. Has anyone heard of this or tried using it for liver issues? As much as I am aware there haven't been any human studies conducted on this compound, but there are lots of anecdotal reports of people using it for sporting injuries like muscle tears and joint injuries with good success through accelerated healing. It also appears to have healing effects on the GI tract, so has generalised systemic healing properties.

Let me know what you guys think. You think this could be beneficial for liver fibrosis?

I wouldn't recommend any suppliments claiming to cleanse the liver. They are designed to bore a large hole in your wallet. Why would you throw more substances at an already struggling liver and expect it to have to work doubly hard to process it? The only way to help regenerate a damaged liver is to eat and drink healthily, exercise, avoid alcohol and give it a break from continually having to deal with toxins. Just allow this vital, hard working organ time to heal.

I wouldn’t think it was, I’m sure if something was that good at healing liver fibrosis the Hepatologists of the world would be fighting to get this miracle cure for every fibrosis patient out there. Like Laura says, there is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle with lots of exercise.
