7 Clinical note: These mechanisms are derived from preclinical models
In short: BPC-157 appears safe when used responsibly, but due diligence with dosing, sourcing, and timing is essentialespecially when addressing complex GI disorders
They cover each others blind spots
In the lungs, after entering in type II alveolar cells, SARS-CoV-2 infected cells become defective for surfactant production (Ghati et al., 2021) and release cytokines, like IL-8 among others, which in turn activate alveolar macrophages to release IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-, that induce natural killer and dendritic cell differentiation and macrophage M1 polarization, enhancing the proinflammatory response with increased vasodilation causing neutrophil and activated T cell influx from the capillaries into the alveolus, all leading to the cytokine storm (Carcaterra and Caruso, 2021
