That's why you can get age-related B12 deficiencies.

So that's one reason why you have more colitis, more diverticulitis as you age.

You don't have that gastric protective compound.

It increases VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor, which basically makes your blood vessels grow more.

So that's what causes your body to form a blood vessel.

So another medication known as Avastin, it's on the WHO's list of essential medications.

for cancer.

So many different types of cancer, including colon cancer, you treat it with Avastin, which is a VEGF inhibitor.

So if you have cancer or a high cancer risk, you probably don't want to be taking a medication that's the exact opposite mechanism of action as your essential anti-cancer med.

BPC-157 is not FDA approved, but it is essentially standard of care at this point.

I would say it's, you know, if you're not counting insulin or growth hormone as peptides, it's one of the most commonly used peptides.

And anecdotally and in some clinical literature, it's fairly well tolerated for short periods of time.

I'm not in the camp that everybody needs to do it two to three times a week or even daily for six weeks, no matter what.

The major benefit is when you're gonna take it early on, because it's gonna allow your body to increase blood flow to the injured area.

And the less blood flow it has, for example, cartilage ligaments have horrible blood flow, especially as people age, it's gonna make a significant difference.

So I would wager that that Russian gymnast that Achilles healed in one month completely from a full rupture was likely taking BPC-157 or something very similar.

There's actually three FDA-approved indications, believe it or not.

Not many people know about this, but there's three well-accepted indications.

One of them is the hypoactive sexual disorder and more in women.

Yeah.
