And he told me that recently... So I started getting a lot of emails from people asking me, so I inject BPC-157 into my tendons and they're feeling better.

This is a magical thing.

And I'm like, oh, that's really cool.

So let's go test it.

We take cells from people who basically rupture their Achilles.

They come to our medical center to get their Achilles tendon repaired.

And what we do is we take the little broken piece.

They make more cells.

And so from that one ACL, that one ruptured ACL, I can make about 1,000 little engineered human ligaments.

If you wiggle it, normally you'll see it move a little bit.

If it's stronger, it'll stay nice and stiff.

If it's really weak, it'll flop around.

So you can see that these things, these drugs or these treatments are really either having an effect on the tissue or they're not.

So IGF-1, that's the difference between, say, a Great Dane and a Chihuahua.

Wait, so if you gave a Chihuahua insulin growth factor one at a critical point in development... When it's very, very young and developing still, it will get bigger and it will become a big Chihuahua.

Yeah.

And so when we treat with IGF-1, they get stronger.

But when we did the exact same thing with BPC-157, it had absolutely no effect.

No effect.

It wasn't better, but it wasn't worse.
