BPC-157 Improves Achilles Tendon-to-Bone Healing Even During Steroid Treatment
BPC-157 improved early functional recovery of the Achilles tendon-to-bone unit after transection, and this improvement persisted even during concurrent methylprednisolone treatment that normally impairs healing.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
BPC-157 improved early functional recovery (load-to-failure, stiffness) of transected Achilles tendon-to-bone unit, with efficacy maintained during concurrent methylprednisolone — confirming dual tendon-healing and steroid-impairment-overcoming capabilities.
