[3] The GLP-1 and GIP arms deliver the incretin effects now familiar from drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide appetite suppression, slowed gastric emptying, and improved glucose handling

Faster absorption means more semaglutide reaching GLP-1 receptors in a shorter time window, and those receptors in the brain and gut respond accordingly
So, while BPC-157 looks like a promising option for treating soft tissue injuries without surgery, more research is needed to prove how well it works and to support its use in medicine
