It works as an antioxidant, protecting skin cells from oxidative damage
Unlike traditional anti-inflammatories that simply suppress symptoms, BPC-157 works at a cellular level promoting angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), modulating growth factors, and accelerating the repair of soft tissue, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and the gastrointestinal lining

Rossella Cannarella, lead investigator on the study, this dual action means tirzepatide could become a first-line treatment option for men whose testosterone issues are rooted in metabolic health, rather than structural damage to the testes
For chronic conditions where tissue quality matters, peptides offer a different biological approach
This asymmetry was intentional: in vitro biased-agonism studies by Willard and colleagues (JCI Insight, 2020) demonstrated that tirzepatide preferentially activates Gs-mediated cAMP accumulation over -arrestin recruitment at the GLP-1 receptor, a signalling profile that may reduce receptor internalisation and desensitisation compared with balanced agonism
