They have discovered that polyphenols may exhibit the ability to scavenge free radicals through (1) direct reaction with reactive oxygen species (ROS), (2) enhanced dismutation of free radicals to compounds with much lower reactivity, (3) inhibition of catalase enzyme activity, (4) increased activity of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, (5) chelation with pro-oxidative metals like iron and copper, and (6) increasing the effectiveness of other small antioxidants like tocopherols and ascorbic acid [208, 209]

Research Overview BPC-157 is a partial sequence of a 40 kDa human gastric juice protein originally identified by Sikiri and colleagues in the early 1990s [1]
It plays a significant role in wound healing, tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and reversing signs of aging
