Medical Conditions, Surgeries, and Medications Lack of intrinsic factor (a protein made in the stomach thats needed for B12 absorption) - this condition is called pernicious anemia Thyroid disease HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) Autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, where the immune system in the body attacks its own tissues Gastric bypass surgery (weight loss surgery) Chronic gastritis surgery Certain medications like heartburn drugs (proton pump inhibitors) which reduce stomach acid production Who Is At Risk of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Why We Like the Combination of BPC-157 With GHK-Cu and NAD+ In addition to BPC-157 , PushPatch is a strategic combination of: GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) supports collagen production and skin regeneration NAD+ impacts so many aspects of health, including supporting cellular energy and resilience Think of it like this: BPC-157 helps signal repair and recovery GHK-Cu supports structural rebuilding (e.g., skin damage from sunburn) NAD+ provides the cellular energy needed for repair and resilience, and many people notice that increases in NAD+ lead to improved energy, focus, and recovery
As B12 helps make red blood cells, a lack of vitamin B12 can cause anemia
MOTS-c also influences the folate cycle through AICAR accumulation [2], raising an unresolved question about interaction with methotrexate or other antifolate medications
