Stress can be a significant factor in recovery, so minimizing household chaos, loud noises, and changes in routine is beneficial
Chronic conditions impacting absorption include atrophic gastritis or pernicious anaemia, where there is a lack of intrinsic factor, a protein essential for the uptake of B12 in the digestive tract
The mechanism is specific: BPC-157 promotes the repair of tight junctions, the protein structures that hold intestinal epithelial cells together and prevent undigested particles from passing through the gut wall into systemic circulation
A patient with tennis elbow may benefit from BPC-157, but they still need grip-load management, eccentric or progressive tendon loading, and correction of repetitive strain
Competing interests The authors have no conflicts of interest that are directly relevant to the content of this manuscript
Late signs of deficiency can include anemia, neurological, and psychiatric symptoms
