Scientific Activity In biochemical and cell models, 5-AMINO-1MQ inhibits NNMT, reducing methyl transfer from S-adenosylmethionine to nicotinamide and altering downstream methyl-donor and nicotinamide metabolite pools
Unlike some peptides that are immediately destroyed by stomach acid, research suggests the arginate salt formulation may maintain structural integrity long enough to pass through the stomach
The peptide is also unusually stable in stomach acid for a peptide, so an oral capsule format exists and is sometimes used in gut-focused research planning
the production of all types of blood cells, neural metabolism, DNA & RNA production, and carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism
BPC-157 has become one of the most cited compounds in tissue-repair and regenerative-research literature, with over 150 peer-reviewed publications spanning tendon, ligament, muscle, gastrointestinal, vascular, and central nervous system injury models
