What do you guys think about peptides?

Lately I've been looking into injectable TB-500 and BPC-157 for treatment of my long standing health issues and some of the stuff that I'm reading sounds almost too good to be true which makes me think that there has to be some sort of catch to it. I'd like to hear your guys thoughts/experiences about this stuff before I start to research it on myself. Thanks!

@Polar334 Danny Roddy just did a little work on BPC and suggested that it raised VegF and NO. I don’t know personally, but I’ve taken it in the past and will probably do more research before doing so again.
It’s a bummer because I had some great reversal of long term injuries that were not healing personally.

@evan-hinkle May I ask what website you used to source your BPC?
Also is temporarily raising your Growth hormone/Growth factor really that bad? I get the whole tumor growth thing but I see a lot of longevity clinics offering Hgh and other related compounds for pain recovery and other tissue regeneration properties which makes me think it cant be all that bad as some people say.

@Polar334 I don’t personally feel like I know enough to say one way or another. All I can say is that I had a separated shoulder for about two years heal after about a month on BPC. I couldn’t sleep, train, or hold my newborn without literal excruciating pain. Pain that at times was so severe it caused instant spontaneous weakness, (like almost a total loss of use of my arm). That pain translocated to my wrist because I was constantly overcompensating for the weak/painful shoulder. So now I have an arm from shoulder to hand that is essentially useless, and in one month, it was like I didn’t spend two years like that. It’s been almost 6 years since it healed and I have to really think about it to remember it ever happened, I have zero pain.
I say all this just to say, maybe sometimes in life we have choices to make, and maybe there isn’t going to be a clear best choice? I tell everyone I know about my experience because living with chronic pain for years has got to be worse holistically for the mind, body, and spirit than a round of BPC. I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. I’m just an n=1.
