Mechanistically, GHK-Cu inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, and TNF- alpha in colonic tissue
KPV is a small anti-inflammatory peptide studied mainly for gut and inflammatory conditions (Protide Health)

Angiogenesis, NO Modulation & Cytokine Control BPC-157 activates angiogenesis to restore blood supply to damaged tissue, upregulates growth hormone receptors in tendons and muscles, modulates the nitric oxide system to reduce localized inflammation, stimulates fibroblast proliferation for collagen synthesis, and downregulates TNF- and IL-6 the primary cytokines driving chronic myofascial pain
The studies showed that treatment reduced body weight gain by over 50% compared to controls over a 19-day period, with increased lipolytic activity specifically in adipose tissue deposits
This improves blood flow to damaged tissue, allowing nutrients, oxygen, and immune cells to reach the injury site more efficiently, speeding up recovery (Gwyer et al., Frontiers in Physiology )
