Hi all,

I have been researching into peptides recently and stumbled across some information on a peptide called bpc-157. It is a healing peptide that is found in the gastric juices that naturally occur in small amounts in the stomach. Bpc-157 is what they named it, standing for body protection compound, and has been produced as a administrative peptide either orally or subcutaneously.

After reading some more about its effects, I found some articles that talk specifically about its hepatoprotective properties. Studies have found it actually helps the liver heal and lab tests, conducted on rats, have shown it reduces liver legions and other bile duct related injuries. It's hard to find information on whether this quantifies as a possible remedy for liver fibrosis, as a liver legion to my understanding is different.

Either way, this seems to be quite a astonishing discovery, atleast for me, and I am surprised there has been no mention of this compound or the findings that have been published on this forum. Has anyone heard of this or tried using it for liver issues? As much as I am aware there haven't been any human studies conducted on this compound, but there are lots of anecdotal reports of people using it for sporting injuries like muscle tears and joint injuries with good success through accelerated healing. It also appears to have healing effects on the GI tract, so has generalised systemic healing properties.

Let me know what you guys think. You think this could be beneficial for liver fibrosis?

01How long does it take to clean a fatty liver?

How long it takes to reverse fatty liver disease may depend on the cause. If your fatty liver is because of alcohol, you may be able to reverse the effects in about 2 weeks. If you have NAFLD, it will depend on how quickly you lose weight. But remember, be careful not to lose weight too quickly. If you're overweight, losing about 7% to 10% of your body weight safely may be enough to reduce the unwanted side effects of your fatty liver. Doctors usually consider a fatty liver a “clinically silent disease.” This means it doesn’t usually cause a lot of symptoms. While you work to “clean” your liver, you may not know right away how your liver is changing.
