    Recommends against

    “To date there have been no randomized clinical trials on the effects of BPC-157 in humans. We don't know if it's safe since there have been no human clinical trials, we don't know whether we're harming ourselves by using the substance, and even if it is safe at a certain dose it might not be at a higher dose.”
