## What this covers

Long-term PPI use causes gastric atrophy, B12 deficiency, magnesium depletion, and increased fracture risk. Over 15 million Americans take PPIs daily.

## What BPC-157 does

BPC-157 accelerates gastric mucosal healing in rodent models. It protects against NSAID-induced gastric lesions. It modulates NO signaling in the gastric wall.

## Evidence grade

- BPC-157 gastric protection: rodent + limited human case reports, moderate quality
- PPI side effects: extensive clinical data, high quality

## Practical note

BPC-157 has not been tested in PPI users specifically. The mechanistic rationale for gut lining support exists but is unproven in this population.
