However, researchers sometimes use BPC-157 alongside GLP-1 therapies to address gastrointestinal side effects, given its demonstrated gastroprotective properties
Research suggests that stimulation of melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4R) may reduce amyloid-beta accumulation, support synaptic activity, and improve markers linked to neuroprotection
