Useful to know, if you are out of the loop (ie me) on 'peptides'
Natasha LoderAn FDA advisory committee has voted to recommend wider access to BPC-157, the peptide beloved of "folk pharmacologists" So what exactly is it, and what research convinced the @US_FDA panel that it should be more widely available?
That's the point: Nobody has done a controlled trial to see what dose will affect your body, and how. No doctor or pharmacist has the data to tell you. And you're right: peptides are short strings of amino acids that *can* affect you; maybe exciting and maybe dangerous. They need to be studied more.
Thank you Dr Fauci for a Lifetime of Service.🇺🇸 God bless you🕊🙏🏼
