Ben Greenfield and a guest discuss peptides like BPC157, which researchers found safe for treating stomach lesions, and GHK, a peptide that activates stem cells and upregulates longevity genes. GHK has low oral bioavailability, so people often inject it, though copper formulations can be painful.

Questions this video answers

A chemotherapy drug.

It causes lesions to the stomach.

BPC157.

Most people inject it (due to low oral bioavailability).

It upregulates longevity genes, activates stem cells, and has beneficial effects for skin when systemic.

Chapters

Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug. It's very effective at killing cancer cells, but it has some unfortunate side effects, and one of those is that it causes lesions to the stomach. And the researchers concluded in that study that BPC157 is a very safe anti ulcer peptide.
So GHK is one that has that low bioavailability that I spoke of. And most people will inject it, which as a copper thing to inject it can actually be quite painful. But you take the GHK because it's fantastic for anti aging. It upregulates a heap of your longevity genes, it help activate your stem cells, and even if you take it orally and it, it will end up systemic, the way I formulated it, and then it has just fantastic effects for your skin.
