Three different tests: Tendon outgrowth , how many cells grow out from a piece of tendon in the dish Wound healing assay , cells are grown as a monolayer, you make a scratch in it and observe how quickly it closes Cell survival , you add peroxide (oxidative stress, which normally kills cells) and observe how many survive What they found: Tenocytes grew faster and in a dose-dependent curve (the more BPC-157, the more growth) The scratch closed 1.8 faster at 1 g/ml BPC-157 Under oxidative stress, 22 % of cells survived without BPC-157, but 67 % with BPC-157 When they blocked the FAK enzyme, the effect disappeared mechanism confirmed Why it matters: This is not just a systemic effect via blood, BPC-157 directly modifies the biology of an individual cell
While it is effective, this additional step may reduce efficiency in some individuals
Rhonda Patrick, a biomedical scientist and founder of FoundMyFitness, emphasizes: "NAD+ levels can go up when we exercise or fast, but NAD+ precursors like NR and NMN boost them further, supporting energy production and cellular repair."[17] She notes that combining lifestyle with supplementation yields optimal results
