Regeneration or Risk? A Narrative Review of BPC-157 for Musculoskeletal Healing - PMC
This scoping review aims to evaluate the molecular mechanisms, therapeutic potential, and safety concerns of Body Protective Compound-157 (BPC-157) in the context of musculoskeletal healing. Given the compound’s increasing availability, popularity, ...
Few human studies so lots of warnings, and anytime angiogenesis is involved - cancer comes to mind.
It is hard to argue with the results and info presented in this article. I found the section on the short half life but how long it continues to work even after one application interesting.
Many people just take BPC157 (I did too) without much research into how it works so well - or should work so well. I just wanted my Achilles tendons to stop screaming at me. This article and any google search, provides a lot of data.
It is very unfortunate that something (my own Ortho said is the most benign peptide and one of the best available) is not being studied in more long term human trials. I also found that comment about some compounding pharmacies mixing it with other products albeit banned from competitive sports, and to my knowledge can't be prescribed or filled.
I would appreciate anyone who understands how the doctors who do this and pharmacies who fill the prescription get around this roadblock without losing their license to practice / law suits, etc. If you take something that can't be prescribed and end up with a serious illness, in today's litigious society, regardless of the cause - there would be a class action suit if enough people took the peptide.
In my business I am familiar with class action suits and even people who have no issues / no disease / no side-effects receive letters from lawyers telling them to contact the law firm as they will get a small payout and the lawyers will take the bulk of it.
Anyway - worth a slow read for those who use this peptide.
