            • 02:00 - 02:30 your gut it is unclear like if you age or over time or if you've got gastrointestinal disorders at a degree to which PPC 157 sort of generation in the gastrointestinal tract is damaged modified inhibited at some level it's like how much bpc 157 are you actually making right that's why it's an extremely useful exogenous peptide to be using for all kinds of things I'm going to get to like all the things that it does but I want to focus on the neurological stuff so I'm going to take us to a paper called panadeka peptide
            • 02:30 - 03:00 bpc 157 and the central nervous system and I want to read a bit of this abstract for you guys so that you can fully understand some of the potent neurological effects that bbc157 Administration has and this this was a study on rats in which they basically put it in the water they either administered it in a thin transparent membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal cavity this was in animals these this is in rats but they also actually put it in these rats water they put it in the drinking water where they say we reviewed the pleiotropic beneficial effects of these stable
            • 03:00 - 03:30 gastric pentadecopeptide bpc157 three very recent demonstrations that may be essential in the gut brain and brain gut axis operation and therapy application essential nervous system disorders in particular firstly given in the reperfusion bpc 157 counteracted bilateral clamping of the common carotid arteries induced stroke sustained brain neuronal damages were resolved in rats
            • 03:30 - 04:00 and in that situation like they had sustained brain neuronal damage so they go sustained brain neuronal damages were resolved in rats as well as Disturbed memory Locomotion and coordination issues so you basically had a clamping of the carotid arteries which induced a stroke if you understand the carotids they're kind of going up basically here you can actually look at them on a on an MRI scan of like pituitary if you're scanning like the hypothalamus area or the pituitary through the various like types of imagery that you can look at you can see the carotid arteries the openings they're kind of like uh deep
            • 04:00 - 04:30 black looking holes so you basically induce stroke in these rats that you know said stroke induced sustained brain neuronal damage as well as Disturbed Locomotion uh memory and coordination and the administration of bpc 157 not only like helped the situation but resolved it completely now if you look further into you know this kind of summary of this long paper what bpc 157 was also able to do was ameliorate schizophrenia-like symptoms actually
            • 04:30 - 05:00 ended up resolving a nitric oxide issue that took place in long-term amphetamine usage thirdly uh after a rat spinal cord compression so again a superficial manufactured induction of compression of a rat's spinal cord the damage that took place thereafter bpc 157 was able to execute advanced level healing actually counteracted tail paralysis like paralysis of that rat's tail is just mind-blowing but you know know
            • 05:00 - 05:30 this is where it gets kind of important and super fascinating for those of us like Neuroscience Geeks it goes likewise in bpc 157 therapy there is specific support for each of these topics counteracted cephalopathies alleviated vascular occlusion disturbances which is effectively stroke counteracted dopamine disturbances a counteracted dopamine receptor blockade receptor supersensitivity development or receptor activation over release Nigro striatal damage this is damage in the Nigro striatal the striatum of the brain and
            • 05:30 - 06:00 again nitric oxide system disturbances let's take one of the main themes bpc 157 has the ability to restore nitric oxide function whether it's you know uh fixing nitric oxide synthase or enhancing nitric oxide signaling and some other capacity that is not being elucidated here executed or induced inflammation reduction okay nerve recovery in addition to alleviated homeostasis and vessels function after compression after the spinal cord injury and a good degree of those disturbances were fully resolves now so let's just
            • 06:00 - 06:30 step back a second and like it's like well how are they administering that again this is given basically in the GI tract right whether it was the stomach itself or the intestines but you know they're injecting in this thin transparent membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal cavity and this is basically where you're looking at you know the injection site somewhere on there you know in a in a rat model but at the same time they put it in the drinking water right so they were consuming it orally PPC 157 can be consumed orally it can be consumed intranasially and it can be injected on site so as far as like you know getting
            • 06:30 - 07:00 beneficial effects on dopamine receptor blockade like maybe you've taken Kratom or you took it for a long time or you know some other condition induced high levels of prolactin for a consistent period of time which I know from personal experience you know induces some sort of blockade of regular hypothalamic dopamine function which is not good for sexual function and host of other things so you know if you're wanting to use it for that if you're wanting to use it for generalized brain fog and you can't really figure out what's going on intentionally there's a cerebral blood flow issue that could be
            • 07:00 - 07:30 alleviated or resolved with bpc 157 you know in those cases you could take it intranasally or you could dose it orally it was absolutely a is it a fruit fly what is that I will wait I will wait I will I'll wait I'll wait for you I'll wait for it to come back I'll just clap them just clap them so that's how you would want to dose it in those cases now I can't really say in terms of efficacy which is better to be dosing it orally or to be dosing an intra nasally if you're trying to get neurological
            • 07:30 - 08:00 benefits like increased blood flow to potentially repair some damaged neurons to Aid in some sort of dopaminergic dysfunction at the receptor side but what I would wager just from looking at all the scientific literature the research dealing with clients as well as reading a good degree of the Reddit anecdotals is that both intranasal and oral administration of bpc157 is going to be effective for those things so that's basically the bottom line with you know neurological stuff VPC 157 is not just an injury healing a ligament healing you know you tear your rotator
            • 08:00 - 08:30 coffee you burn some muscle something is in pain and you've got to resolve it type of peptide it also has restorative properties of neurological function cerebral function blood flow dopamine action nitric oxide synthesis and host of other things which is really awesome okay so stepping back generally we know it as though body protective compound inject it on site or somewhere if you have an injury and yes that's very effective I don't know the degree to which uh you know oral or intranasal
            • 08:30 - 09:00 bpc157 is effective for on-site injury what you would probably want to do in an injury case is after you have like uh reconstituted the solution and you've got to take bacterostatic water and inject it and reconstituted into that powder to make it a liquid you know you're you're looking at anywhere from 250 to on the very high end 750 micrograms a day injection on site to get alleviation from issues to potentially resolve problems but it's
            • 09:00 - 09:30 like you can inject bpc 157 subcutaneously okay there's a lot of anti-aging clinics like highly Advanced MDS that are doing it that way and seeing great results whether it's a attend an issue a ligament issue on your ankle or something yeah I mean you can inject bpc 157 in this subcutaneous tissue around the area this is the type of peptide that after injection you don't want to rub it in you don't want to try to disperse it you want to keep it as close to the site of your injury
            • 09:30 - 10:00 as possible and lastly I'll say this like bpc 157 we know it as this regenerative healing you know gut-borne peptide but why like you know what exactly is it doing what is it recruiting that allows it to heal tissue there's probably a lot of answers to that question but on a paper called penatechopeptide ppc157 enhance the growth the hormone receptor expression in tendon fibroblasts this gives us somewhat of a clue for one of the potential mechanisms of action for how it's recovering injuries in which they go in conclusion the bpc 157 induced
            • 10:00 - 10:30 increase of growth hormone receptor and tendon fibroblasts May potentiate the proliferation promoting effect of growth hormone and contribute to the healing of the tendon so essentially you're basically enhancing the you know at the receptor side the effect of growth hormone and that's potentiating healing in the tissues for those of you interested in BBC 157 for gastrointestinal issues because this is a thing too and has proven beneficial not only in many different studies but in Reddit anecdotes go read this paper
            • 10:30 - 11:00 bpc157 is standard androgenic growth factors gastrointestinal tract healing lessons from tendon ligament muscle and bone healing where they actually go into things like injury of the esophagus like if you got if you've got chronic reflux and your esophagus is getting injured you may want to look at bpc 157 for that because everybody knows and if you don't know the end point of consistent chronic reflux you know if you're susceptible to it is Barrett's esophagus which is essentially you know esophageal cancer as I said in the beginning yeah look hey guys the cortex stack officially here
