A strong gut barrier supports healthy nutrient absorption, which in turn supports the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that everyday activity relies on
It modulates growth-factor signaling (VEGF, FGF) and supports fibroblast activity, which is central to tendon, ligament and gut-lining repair
It's a 15-amino acid chain: Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Asp Classification : Pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) Origin : Derived from gastric cytoprotective compounds Primary targets : Tissue repair, angiogenesis, growth factor upregulation Primary use : Tendon, ligament, and connective tissue repair Why Tendon Repair Is Challenging Tendons have notoriously poor blood supply compared to muscle
