GH and IGF-1 increase osteoblast differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells and upregulate alkaline phosphatase, the enzyme that mineralizes bone matrix
How it helps disc herniation specifically: Upregulates tendon-related growth factors BPC-157 activates the Egr-1 transcription factor, which drives collagen synthesis in fibrous tissue including the annulus fibrosus Promotes angiogenesis increases VEGF expression, improving blood supply to the avascular disc environment Neuroprotective effects multiple rodent studies show BPC-157 accelerates peripheral nerve regeneration and protects against nerve compression injury Systemic anti-inflammatory suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine cascades without the immunosuppressive side effects of steroids Protocol: Dose: 250500mcg/day subcutaneous injection Injection site: Lower abdomen or closest accessible subQ site to the injury (though systemic distribution means proximity matters less than for localized joint issues) Duration: 68 weeks loading phase, reassess at week 8 Most people notice reduced nerve pain and improved mobility within 24 weeks
