Number one, you don't really know the safety of these products.
They don't go through the testing.
But number two, you really do have to know how.
It's kind of an art to use peptides appropriately because you're absolutely right.
I'm somebody who's my age in your 60s and you basically, you're like, oh, I'm not feeling well.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm going to just take some BPC because everybody's heard about BPC.
It's really not going to do that.
And it's somewhat warranted because BPC is a really remarkable peptide.
It's another one of those endogenous peptides.
Our body makes it.
So it's made by our gastric juices.
So it's made in our gut and then it's secreted and it's not only very protective to the gut, which is great, but it's secreted to be sort of protective everywhere and help recovery everywhere.
So if you kind of looked at one of the most powerful peptides to kind of just use
for anything, BPC would kind of fall into that category.
It also has these great neural protective properties.
We work a lot with athletes, and the problem is, you know, peptides aren't WADA approved, but ideally you would have all your athletes on BPC because if they get hurt, they're going to recover faster.
It's also been shown to be very preventative to brain health.
So I think it's valid that this peptide, it's so powerful and does so much for healing and recovery and prevention.
I think it's valid that it's getting the attention it's getting, right?
