It appears to accelerate the healing of various tissues including tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the GI tract
Such pleiotropic effects agree with BPC 157 functioning through activation of several receptors (i.e., Vegfr2 (Hsieh et al., 2017), growth hormone (Chang et al., 2014)), and interaction with several molecular pathways (Chang et al., 2011, 2014
The properties offered by the compound have also been exploited by a Chinese group, who presented BPC 157 as an interesting component of medical dressings for scar repair, which is effective in shortening the time for wound healing [172]
