[Discussion] BPC-157 is doing more work than we give it credit for
BPC-157 is doing more work than we give it credit for. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Bought small, tested identity first, and only then thought about anything else. That order felt right. Every claim I could trace in this board went back to about four papers. That was a…
