“I've been experimenting with bpc 157 for which there are basically zero human data tons of animal data and anyone that's taking BBC 157 by the way you don't want to take it continuously and if you're going to take it get it from a compounding pharmacy and get it prescribed by a doctor because there's a lot of contaminated versions out there I would never take an oral version it can cause angiogenesis growth of of blood vessels so if you have a tumor you could cause angiogenesis of the tumor so um but I do take I was taking it um subq yep and I do heal noticeably faster when taking bpc157”
