Protection against oxidative stress: BPC-157 has been found to have antioxidant properties, which means it can help neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protect cells from oxidative damage
However, for individuals actively managing complex, reactive chronic illnesses like Long COVID, ME/CFS, or severe dysautonomia, such high starting doses are rarely recommended due to the high potential for gastrointestinal upset or rapid, uncomfortable detoxification reactions (often referred to as a Herxheimer reaction)
More rarely, GO can be found in patients with hypothyroid autoimmune thyroiditis or in subjects with subclinical evidence of thyroid autoimmunity, but with no thyroid dysfunction, and the pathogenesis of these conditions is still a matter of debate ( Oxidative Stress in Graves Orbitopathy Oxidative stress is defined as the disruption of the balance between the production and the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes a remarkable damage of several cell components, namely proteins, lipids, membranes, and nucleic acids ( Figure 1 )
