One study in The Journal of Physiology found that combining L-Carnitine with a carb source improved its uptake in muscle tissue
Key Points Animal studies suggest that BPC-157 offers widespread healing benefits across the body, including: Accelerated healing and functional recovery of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones Support for wound healing through key regenerative processes Reversal of corticosteroid-induced damage Protection and therapeutic effects on gut health, including inflammatory conditions and ulcers Nerve regeneration and neuroprotection against spinal cord injury, brain trauma, and neurotoxicity Improvements in motor function, learning, mood regulation, and neurodegenerative conditions Tendon, Ligament, and Muscle Repair BPC-157 has accelerated the healing of various tissues, including tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bone in numerous preclinical studies
