You asked, I answered.
In this thread 🧵 I will be demystifying each peptide in this cheat sheet and discussing their primary mechanism of action.
↪️
The famous BPC-157:
- BPC-157 is a peptide composed of amino acids that replicate those found in human gastric juice.
- In short, BPC-157 is similar to what keeps our stomach and intestines healthy.
...↪️
- BPC157 has the remarkable ability to heal all sorts of injuries, including muscle tears, tendon strains, ligament damage, inflammation, joint injuries, and even open wounds.
- Research indicates that BPC-157 induces angiogenesis, which means it grows new capillary tissue.
2) FGL:
- FGL is a peptide derived from the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM).
- NCAM is a glycoprotein that is found on the surface of nerve cells (neurones) and glial cells (protect neurones).
...↪️
- NCAM activates FGL, which in turn stimulates the production of new projections of developing neurones.
- FGL has been shown to improve the brain's ability to modify the connections between neurones, the brain's cellular building blocks.
3) SS-31:
- Improves the functions within the mitochondria, protects the mitochondria from damage and improves our mitochondria’s energy production.
- SS-31 does this by rejuvenating oxidative phosphorylation.
4) PE-22-28:
- Reliably increases the production of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and leads to the synthesis of new neurones.
- As well as synaptogenesis.
5) Last but not least TB-500:
- Simply put, TB500 is a synthetic version of the healing protein released by the thymus gland (Thymosin Beta 4).
...↪️
- That, in turn, creates T-cells which work to boost the immune system to fight off disease; plus, heals damage to the tendons, muscles, ligaments, and bones.
- TB-500 also reduces inflammation, increases collagen, and determines how well we recover from injuries.
...↪️
- In short, the number of T-cells is a primary component of one's health, and TB-500 essentially gives you "more."
