Mechanically Obstructive MGD: In traditional MGD, the Meibomian gland oils become viscous/thickened, instead of having a healthy olive oil-like consistency
Possessing it isn't illegal
Additional Regenerative Options: PRP and Peptides While prolotherapy is powerful on its own, advanced regenerative strategies can further enhance healing outcomes
BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis through upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and activation of the VEGFR2-Akt-eNOS signaling cascade, leading to increased nitric oxide production essential for endothelial proliferation and new blood vessel formation
