Following digestion with collagenase type I (Stemcell, Vancouver, BC, Canada) and washing with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, Thermo Fisher, MA, USA), cells were grown in the MesenCult Expansion Medium (Stemcell, Vancouver, Canada)
The peptides provide the biological capacity for repair, but physical loading provides the necessary molecular guidance to ensure the new collagen matrix is strong, aligned, and resilient enough to prevent recurrence

Especially relevant to the stack, BPC-157 has shown strong effects on tendon and ligament healing
Efficacy has also been demonstrated in oral administration
Protocol 4: degenerative disc disease and facet arthritis (advanced) Goal: Slow degenerative processes and support tissue quality in chronic spinal degeneration Peptides: BPC-157 : 500mcg twice daily ongoing GHK-Cu : 2mg daily for tissue regeneration KPV : 300mcg daily for anti-inflammatory effects Optional : TB-500 2mg weekly for systemic support Duration: Extended protocols, potentially cycling on and off Why this works: Degenerative conditions require ongoing support rather than acute treatment
