Episode notes
What Peptides Actually Are
- Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules between cells.
- They enhance endogenous physiology but are not steroids or magical fixes.
BPC-157: Promising Preclinical Data
- BPC-157 shows strong preclinical healing signals via angiogenesis, nitric oxide and VEGF pathways.
- Human data remain very limited, so clinical claims are premature.
Prefer Controlled Trials Over Anecdotes
- Treat anecdotal reports skeptically and favour placebo-controlled trials to judge effect.
- Recognize personal N-of-1 experiences but avoid generalizing them without clinical evidence.
