A translation from gut microbiota research to clinical settings is undermined by the complexity surrounding individual microbial profiles (Galland, 2014)
Like so many biohackers before me, I began by doing my own research on Reddit and stumbled upon a thread recommending a supposedly Toronto-based company called Growth Guys. The site claimed BPC-157 could help activate cells involved in tissue repair, including muscles, tendons, ligaments and the gastrointestinal tract, stimulating the synthesis of growth factors, and inhibiting inflammation.
