This makes them a promising candidate for biomedical applications, particularly in wound healing where infection control is crucial
Because peptide therapy may affect different body systems, medical evaluation and ongoing provider guidance are important before and during treatment
The main reason people are interested in BPC-157 is that animal studies suggest it may help the body repair damaged tissue
