Preclinical does not mean proven in humans
Most BPC-157 discussion is built on animal or mechanistic research, not large human clinical trials.
Tissue-repair claims need context
Tendon, gut and wound-healing signals are interesting, but the evidence quality is not the same as an approved therapy.
Supplier quality is a separate question
Even if a molecule has promising research, online research products still need batch testing and identity verification.
Regulatory status matters
BPC-157 is not an FDA-approved drug for human use and should not be framed as a treatment recommendation.
