unpopular opinion: BPC-157 is massively overrated

Caution

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: tendon matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 12 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 17 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

the sequence variation is the real issue

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

tendon and pentadecapeptide literature in rodents is interesting

rodent data must be labelled as rodent data

pentadecapeptide is sequence, the supply chain naming is a mess

How many weeks between the two measurements?

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with tendon, not with what you concluded.

u/cormac_roosOP1 point·2 months ago

Strongly agree. Zero human controlled data.

the sequence literature looks promising but rodent-only

BPC pentadecapeptide is a naming problem, three things are called this

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

About c/bpc157

BPC-157 as it actually is: a pentadecapeptide with a genuinely interesting rodent tendon-and-gut literature, near-zero controlled human data, a naming and sequence mess in the supply chain, and a regulatory status that changed sharply in several countries.
