Is BPC-157 the New Best Supplement for Athletes?

By: Ford Wilder

To begin, BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide, which is a sequence of amino acids that mimics a naturally occurring protein found in the human body. This supplement is relatively new and is still in the early stages of development and research. Since this supplement hit the market, it has become extremely popular and has found its way into many shops and online stores, accompanied by extensive advertising and surrounding the product. I decided to buy it and start taking it a few weeks ago. This is because there are numerous benefits associated with this supplement, not only for athletes but for everyone. I am here to tell you my experience with this supplement so far and some of the benefits it has.

Additionally, BPC-157 is believed to accelerate the healing of various tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. It’s particularly praised for its ability to support soft tissue repair, making it popular among athletes recovering from injuries or surgery.

After the first two weeks of taking BPC, I noticed the tendonitis in my elbow from throwing fully went away. It was an ongoing issue I tried to rehab over time, but it never fully healed. Once I started taking BPC, my tendonitis gradually got better and better. Also, the pain in the patella tendon of my left knee has gotten so much better. I have dealt with this pain from lots of jumping and sprinting across my three sports. By pairing this supplement with weight training and rehab, I have noticed great improvement in strength and stability.

Another great benefit of this supplement is its ability to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a major factor in delayed recovery and prolonged pain after injury or heavy exercise. BPC-157 can help to alleviate pain and swelling, allowing individuals to return to their activities more quickly and comfortably. I have noticed since beginning this supplement that my body has been able to recover much quicker from long and strenuous practices and workouts. I can go pretty much one hundred percent day after day, which has been great for me. 

Ultimately, I believe that all athletes should begin to take this supplement. BPC-157 could be the missing piece that many injured and recovering athletes need. There are no side effects of this supplement, so even if it does not work for you, you are not losing anything by at least trying BPC-157 out. BPC-157 is only going to continue to gain traction and change many people’s health for the better.

MK-677 Review

By: Andrew Howle

Mk-677 is a growth hormone fitness supplement that has gained recent traction in the fitness world. It has become so famous due to the boost in body growth hormone without the need for an injection. It stimulates your body to naturally produce more GH (growth hormone) and IGF-1. The liquid version is typically taken orally or under the tongue, making it an accessible option for fitness influencers everywhere, ideal for promoting muscle growth. However, is this supplement as good as it is rumored to be?

Those who take Mk-677 claim to have incredible physical benefits. These benefits include lean muscle mass, faster recovery time, and better sleep quality overall. These elements are all crucial to effective training results. Mk-677 has been shown to improve bone density, joint repair, and skin health to the human body. The supplement increases an athlete’s appetite majorly, which can be very helpful in bulking. This shortens the amount of time to retain weight by a large margin. However, this is a double ended sword being harmful for cutting.

Although the MK-677 has many benefits, it is not without drawbacks. Many people have reported severe water retention, fat gain, and intense hunger at higher doses of the supplements. It can become very expensive through long-term use. It is not recommended to people struggling with diabetes. It is reported to mess highly with insulin sensitivity. It is not FDA-approved as well, which can carry some unknowns along with it. These unknowns could range from simple muscle twitches to heart palpitations.

Mk-677 surely does open up a compelling alternative from injectable growth hormones. However, this supplement is not without risks, to be completely honest. I would highly recommend researching this supplement if you have any thoughts of taking it. This goes to show I would not recommend this until more research is performed on it.
