Histidine, with its pKa near 6.5 and capacity to exist in two imidazole tautomers, is uniquely positioned to function as both a general acid and general base at physiological pH, accounting for its prevalence in enzyme active sites
For example, researchers from a 2016 review of data on the gut-brain axis and BPC-157 explain that the peptide could maintain gastrointestinal mucosa, modulate serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, regenerate peripheral nerves, protect certain neurons, counteract various types of lesions, promote wound healing, and more.7 Some of these possible benefits are due to BPC-157s promotion of the cell migration of vascular endothelial cells.24 This means that the peptide can encourage the formation of new blood vessels (also known as angiogenesis)
Second, it is given SC, IM or orally weekly injections or daily capsules, titrated to serum cobalamin but not intravenously
