The red curve (our Case 4, severe ALI) shows a rightward shift, lower peak, and narrowing, where the lungs safe operating window is shrinking as recruitability is lost

BPC-157 Supports Vascular and Neurological Repair One underappreciated hallmark of long COVID is endothelial dysfunction damage to the lining of blood vessels that impairs circulation, oxygenation, and tissue delivery.7 BPC-157 has demonstrated angiogenic (new blood vessel formation) effects in research models, upregulating VEGFR2 and promoting collateral circulation in ischemic tissue.8 This matters for two reasons: Cardiovascular symptoms (breathlessness, reduced exercise tolerance, tachycardia) may partly reflect impaired tissue oxygenation from vascular damage Neurological symptoms (brain fog, cognitive impairment) may similarly reflect reduced cerebral blood flow BPC-157's neuroprotective effects shown across models of traumatic brain injury, dopamine dysregulation, and serotonin syndrome also suggest value in supporting the neurotransmitter disruption many long COVID patients experience.9 BPC-157 Modulates Inflammation Without Immune Suppression This is critical

Long-Term Unknowns Long-term safety data are scant for many peptides, so risks over months or years are unknown
