ZIM FIT's Deep Dive Into Peptides: BPC-157 And What You Need To Know

At ZIM FIT, we're all about pushing boundaries and empowering you to become the best version of yourself. That means staying informed about the latest trends in fitness and supplementation. One compound that's been generating buzz lately is BPC-157. Let's dive into what it is, what the science says, and whether it's something you should consider.

Background:

BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide that is found in stomach acid, and some refer to it as the "Body Protection Compound". It is an interesting peptide that has been study do to its potential therapeutic applications, as some research shows that it aids in healing when it comes to tissues and it is also beneficial to take to deal with multiple gastrointestinal disorders. 

Potential Benefits:

Potential benefits when it comes to taking BPC-157 are enhanced tissue repair, as some studies have shown the peptide's ability to accelerate healing in tendons, muscles, and nerves. It is thought to reduce inflammation, support gut health, while also improving blood flow.

BPC-157 is useful in the gym as it promotes muscle growth due to its ability to help repair the muscle fibers. It will also aid in a faster recovery, and help with any nagging injuries.

The thought of a peptide being able to promote healing for various tissues, tendons, and muscles sounds too good to be true. However, it has demonstrated this ability time and time again when it comes to being tested on various animals. In a paper published on the National Library Of Medicine from 2014, it shows that BPC-157 has demonstrated this ability.

"BPC 157, a pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric juice, has been demonstrated to promote the healing of different tissues, including skin, muscle, bone, ligament and tendon in many animal studies.....In conclusion, the BPC 157-induced increase of growth hormone receptor in tendon fibroblasts may potentiate the proliferation-promoting effect of growth hormone and contribute to the healing of tendon."

Tests ran for this paper showed that BPC-157 aids in healing tendons and various tissues faster due to the peptide increasing the growth of the hormone receptor in tendon fibroblasts.

Legality And Safety:

BPC-157 is not regulated by any sort or world authority. It is not FDA approved, and it doesn't seem like it will be anytime soon. A big reason for this is the fact that most of the testing has been done on animals, and there has not been nearly enough human trial to move the peptide towards being approved. 

Due to a lack of human studies, the safety of the peptide is up in the air. This is why it is important to do your own research when it comes to every supplement that you are considering. No one knows your body better than you, but make sure you do your due diligence before taking something like BPC-157.

It has been said there is no legal basis for selling or taking BPC-157, which means you do not have to worry about breaking any laws if this is something you are interested in. There are always risks associated with utilizing something like BPC-157, which was pointed out by the United States Anti-Doping Agency in 2023.

"The experimental peptide BPC-157 is prohibited under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List in the category of S0 Unapproved Substances. Furthermore, this substance is not approved for human clinical use by any global regulatory authority and it may lead to negative health effects."

We're committed to providing you with cutting-edge supplements backed by science and safety. While BPC-157 is intriguing, the current lack of human research and regulatory approval means we don't include it in our product lineup, and it is not included in any of our products. Your health and trust are paramount, and we prioritize transparency and efficacy in everything we offer.

You will not find BPC-157 in either of our premiere products, GET FKD® High-Stim or GET PMPD® Low-Stim. However, both items will help you become your best self in the gym.

Final Thoughts:

BPC-157 represents an exciting area of research with potential applications in healing and recovery. However, until more is known about its safety and effectiveness in humans, we recommend focusing on proven strategies and supplements to support your fitness journey.

Stay informed, stay safe, and keep striving for greatness.
