The problem is what are you getting when you buy?

How much should you do?

What is the right way to dose it?

Those are all the nuances.

And again, in the face of just putting somebody on BPC, so you see all these profiles about BPC, let's say you have an injury.

and you're a 40-year-old guy and you have this injury and it's nagging and you're like, I'm just going to get on some BPC.

Well, maybe getting a little testosterone on board is going to be actually really vital to you recovering from that injury because testosterone is really helpful for recovery as well.

So I don't know that you can use these in isolation and get huge effects.

So people are spending money and I think that the problem is they're not doing them with the best benefit that they could get from it.

But BPC is cool because you really can't take too much of it, honestly.

It's been safe, at least in animal studies, it's been safe to be very high doses.

It's an endogenous peptide, meaning our body makes it.

So it is a cool peptide.

But again, none of this stuff is going to be the magic pills that looks like it's online unless you have the other things in place.

Your micronutrients have to be in place.

Your hormones have to be in place.

These are icing on the cake and they're not the base.

They're extremely helpful for us to recover and heal, but they're not going to do it alone.

They're not magic, right.

They look magical on Instagram, but they're not magic.
