How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

BPC 157 lowers elevated blood pressure in the liver's blood vessels and repairs damaged blood vessel function in animals with liver scarring or blocked blood vessels, without affecting blood clotting.

See the scientific wording

BPC 157 attenuates portal hypertension and reverses vascular failure in models of liver cirrhosis and vascular occlusion, suggesting a unique ability to restore blood flow and vascular function without disrupting coagulation.

Why this might work

BPC 157 fixes broken blood vessels by balancing nitric oxide levels and changing the physical structure of vessel walls within minutes, which opens new pathways for blood to flow around blockages and lowers pressure in the liver's main blood vessels without affecting blood clotting.
