The direction still matters
After reviewing the research literature extensively, I find the molecular stability of BPC-157 to be one of its most underappreciated characteristics
In addition to being a therapeutic target, oxidative stress has been shown to decrease the GSH:GSSG ratio which has proven useful as a clinically accessible, pharmacodynamic biomarker of immune redox tone for conditions such as malignancy (Zitka et al., 2012)
A small ( n = 10) open label study demonstrated that an 8-week sulforaphane intervention improved cognitive function in a cohort of participants with schizophrenia (Shiina et al., 2015)
