Specifically, copper's ability to enhance MMP expression, particularly MMP-1, which regulates collagen breakdown, might lead to a temporary increase in cellular debris or a transient inflammatory response as the skin purges and rebuilds
In animal studies , it consistently shows: Faster healing of tendons, ligaments, muscle, and bone Stronger biomechanical properties after injury Enhanced blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) Improved fibroblast migration and survival However, in humans the evidence is extremely limited: A small case series reported knee pain improvement after injections, but lacked control groups, imaging, or standardized outcome measures
These effects make BPC-157 useful not only for healing existing injuries but also for limiting further damage during recovery
