Dr. Joy Kong, a stem-cell specialist, explains BPC-157, a peptide that heals gut lining, repairs muscle and bone, protects the liver from toxins, and triggers serotonin release. No toxicity has been reported. She calls it a foundational peptide for anyone starting peptide therapy.

One peptide that seems to be good for everything, and that's BPC-157. I'm Dr. Joy Kong, a triple board-certified doctor and a stem cell specialist. If you only receive medical care through your primary care doctor, you may have never heard of this peptide. BPC-157 is a highly anti-inflammatory peptide, probably the most widely used in the world besides the GLP-1s. It's highly regenerative. It improves the healing of the gut lining, prevents gastric ulcers. It protects the liver from toxic insults like alcohol and antibiotics. It's great for muscle, tendon, and bone healing. It can repair teeth, cornea, and the brain. It can induce serotonin release and has antidepressant effects. It's very neuroprotective. It promotes nerve regeneration after traumatic brain injury, spinal cord compression, and can even relieve behavioral disturbances. And you might be thinking, there's got to be a downside to this, but there's no reported toxicity of BPC-157. If you deal with any of these: Lyme disease, HIV, inflammatory conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, tendon, ligament, and muscle repair, liver lesions, chemical sensitivity, and allergies, post-surgical healing, BPC-157 might be for you. If you think of each peptide as a precise key unlocking a specific biological function, BPC-157 is like a keychain with lots of keys on it. So if you don't know what to take in the world of peptides, start with BPC-157. It's probably going to do you some good. If you
