BPC-157 — 22 things I got wrong before I got it right
Thinking out loud about this: BPC-157 — 22 things I got wrong before I got it right. The three questions, kept separate, because this board runs them together constantly. Identity : is this the sequence I ordered? Answered by mass spectrometry against a theoretical mass. Quantity : how much peptide is in the vial?…
Agreed. Identity is the question here. A short peptide can be synthesised by almost anyone and the sequence is what you are actually buying.
the human evidence is thin and the rodent evidence is not
What jurisdiction are you asking about? The answer has changed in several.
Went and read the primary rodent papers after arguing about a summary for a week. They are much narrower than the threads suggest.
regulatory status varies by jurisdiction and it has moved recently
sequence confirmation is the test worth paying for
Yes — the rodent literature is real and it is rodent literature. The gap to a human claim is enormous and it gets crossed in one sentence here.
Push back: "no reported harms" in a literature with almost no human trials is not a safety finding.
