Featuring a powerful combination of two peptide chains BPC-157 and Thymosin Beta-4 (TB500) Protex is engineered to support healing, reduce inflammation, and promote overall tissue recovery & regeneration
In short, soldiers who lost fingers or hands in battle would have them stored in gastric juices to allow for more effective reattachment in a hospital later on, which led to an understanding of the guts ability to heal soft tissue
One notable finding: a study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research found that BPC-157 significantly improved tendon-to-bone healing in animal models of Achilles tendon detachment notably, even in the presence of corticosteroids, which normally impair healing
For example, we can use soft hydrogels to open up space and pad around nerves or dense hydrogels to patch cartilage defects and cushion arthritic joints

The molecule also modulates nitric oxide signaling, dampens local inflammation, supports tendon and ligament repair, and protects gastric mucosa from NSAID injury, which is incidentally why I sometimes pair it with the analgesia plan
