BPC-157, the Orally Available Peptide That Repairs Tendon, Muscle, Intestines, Teeth, Bone and More in Vitro & Vivo

Written by | published on
Image
BPC is not patentable, and thus not interesting for BigPharma. In a way this article is a response to a question I got from Ryan on the Faebook Page of the SuppVersity a week ago. He asked, whether I had an article on Pentadecapeptide BPC-157, a substance of which he'd heard that it can accelerate tendon and muscle repair and work all sorts of other healing magic. Now, as a regular at the SuppVersity  you may know that I didn't have an article on this agent a week age. So I decided to write one. Not just because Ryan asked, but also because of the practical significance of the healing effects of this peptide from in vitro and in vivo studies (no medical advice here!). Unlike antioxidants with their anti- hormetic  effects, BPC-157 actually promotes healing Is Vitamin E Good for the Sedentary Slob, Only? Even Ice-Baths Impair the Adapt.

High Dose BCAAs for Cyclists | Colostrum Peptides for Bulking | Intermittent Fasting for Cutting | Probiotics for Muscle Protection -- ISSN'15 Research Review Issue #6

Written by | published on

Are you trying to build a body like this? Maybe one of the supplements discussed in this article can help. To make sure that I am not missing other relevant / interesting new research spending time with the ISSN'15 poster presentations, this is going to be the last installment of the ISSN'15 Research Review . With six different studies in one installment of the series it is obviously difficult to find a common theme. With studies on the ergogenic and pro-anabolic effects of various supplements, I am yet sure that there's (at least) one interesting study for everyone. So what's your favorite? The study on the immune effects of BCAAs, the one investigating the differential effects of coffee and caffeine, or the experiment that probes the safety and effects of bioactive peptides, the one that tests the nootropic effects of alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, caffeine or placebo or the new study on intermittent fasting?

If you've got brawn and brain you will realize that whey is much more than a potent muscle builder. As a SuppVersity reader, you are well familiar with the pluripotent benefits whey protein has to offer to the average and extra-ordinary gymrat. You will also be aware that it can promote weight loss and help you maintain lean muscle mass when you're dieting. If you've read almost all ~2,000 SuppVersity articles, you will even know about the GLUT4 and thus glucose uptake promoting effects isoleucine containing dipeptides in whey protein hyrolysates, but I guess that some of the other benefits whey protein owes to its complex mixture of proteins and peptides are going to be news for you.

True or False? Glycine & Proline Supplements Ramp Up Collagen Synthesis & Improve Joint Health. Plus: The Tripeptide Advantage of Collagen Hydrolysates

Written by | published on

The "Paleo" cult has repopularized eating and preparing your own (Chicken) bone broth, but will this also help with bone and cartilage health? Although you're probably thinking of collagen as the stuff that's important for joint health, its implications in human health are more far-reaching than most of us believe. In fact, collagens are the most abundant group of organic macro-molecules in human and animal body. Because of their tensile strength, they perform numerous structural functions within the body - specifically in connective tissues which include among other tissue also organs as your heart, your intestines, your lungs and the parenchymal organs like the liver and the kidneys and even the fibrous matrix of skin and blood vessels. As I already said, collagens are yet by far best known as structural components of the protein matrix of the skeleton and its related structures, like bones, teeth, tendons, cartilage and l...

There is More To Glucose Control Than Carbohydrates (1/?): Non-Carbohydrate Nutrients And Their Effects On Blood Glucose Management ➲ Amino Acids, Proteins, Peptides

Written by | published on

This is part I of a multipart series, you will be able to navigate by clicking on the pictures in the box below. While it appears to be obvious that eating a low-to-no-carbohydrate diet would be the easiest way to manage your blood glucose levels, carbs are by far not the only nutrient that will have an effect on your blood glucose levels. In a recent overview article, Martina Heer and Sarah Egert from the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at the University of Bonn provide a decent overview of the multiple ways by which "other nutrients, such as dietary protein and amino acids, the supply of  fat, vitamin D, and vitamin K, and sodium intake seem to affect glucose homeostasis." (Heer. 2014). In the coming weeks I will use their review as a starting point for my own overview of the effects of non-carbohydrate and "almost cabohydrate" nutrients   on glucose metabolism. And for today, I decided, to conclude this week that was full of exciting protein news...
