Groups at higher risk of deficiency include older adults (due to reduced stomach acid production), people following vegan or strict vegetarian diets (as B12 is naturally found almost exclusively in animal products), individuals with pernicious anaemia or other malabsorption conditions, those taking certain medications such as metformin or proton pump inhibitors long-term, and people with significant nitrous oxide exposure (including recreational use), which can inactivate B12 in the body
Published BPC-157 studies have generated a preclinical literature base spanning gastrointestinal cytoprotection, vascular recruitment, angiogenesis-associated signaling, fibroblast migration, tendon-cell biology, and central nervous system research models
Storage should remain cool, dry, and protected from light unless institutional procedures require more specific controls
It also plays a role in the production of the myelin sheath that surrounds nerves as well as the conduction of nerve impulses
However, it has less research behind it overall and is typically used as a complementary peptide alongside GHK-Cu rather than as a standalone treatment
