This recycling process makes it incredibly efficient at combating oxidative stress, which is one of the primary drivers of skin aging
So at the mechanistic level: BPC-157 builds the blood supply
Published research suggests this interaction may be bidirectional, with BPC-157 appearing to promote or counteract NO system effects depending on the experimental context (Sikiric et al., 2014)
Among the numerous partners that interact with NRF2 regulating its activity, two members of the CNC-bZIP protein family BTB and CNC homolog 1 (BACH1) and BTB and CNC homolog 2 (BACH2) are two negative regulators of NRF2: they compete with NRF2 for the binding to ARE sequences of target genes, thereby preventing the production of antioxidant enzymes and cellular defense against toxicity [232, 233]
