Both work, but they absorb differently
The two most studied are nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN)
Studies suggest that BPC-157 peptides promote: Tissue repair in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin Anti-inflammatory effects that reduce swelling and pain Gut health improvements , potentially aiding conditions like leaky gut, ulcers, and IBS Neuroprotective properties that may support brain function and recovery from injury As a healing peptide, BPC-157 peptide therapy is widely used among athletes, patients recovering from surgery, and those looking to improve overall wellness
Therefore, it is posited that BPC-157 may exhibit pro-angiogenic action by potentially promoting the expression and internalization of VEGFR2 and potentially activating the VEGFR2-Akt-eNOS signaling pathway
A decade ago it was a niche ingredient in a few high-end skincare lines
