Starter list, feel free to add:

  1. BPC-157 grows back cartilage. — No. Rodent data is on tendon/ligament and some bone. Articular cartilage regrowth is not documented.
  2. BPC-157 cures depression. — No. CNS effects in rodents are not 'cures depression' in humans.
  3. BPC-157 makes you gain muscle. — No. It's not anabolic.
  4. BPC-157 works better when you cycle it because your body 'adapts.' — No mechanism for adaptation documented. Cycling is precautionary, not corrective.
  5. BPC-157 can replace rehab. — Lol, no.

What else?

  1. BPC-157 'heals old injuries from decades ago.' The asymptomatic old injury is asymptomatic for a reason — your body adapted. BPC isn't going to undo 15 years of compensation patterns.

  1. 'You can feel BPC working within 24 hours.' The acute anti-inflammatory vibe is real but the healing claims take weeks. If you feel 'healed' in 24 hours, it wasn't broken enough for BPC to be the variable.

  1. 'BPC-157 has no side effects because it's a natural peptide.' Many natural peptides have side effects. Absence of reported side effects is not evidence of absence. Also it's synthetic, not natural in vial form.

Excellent additions. This is going in my link locker for newbie questions.

  1. 'BPC is safe to combine with anything.' We barely know what it does by itself in humans. Combinations are speculation on top of speculation.
