The safety and source quality of BPC-157 are critical concerns due to lack of regulation and potential for contamination or mislabeling in compounded pharmacies.

“I have been concerned just personally about um gray Market sources that um contain contaminants and the fact that um many people are obtaining bpc 157 not from a physician not from a compounded Pharmacy but just kind of on quote unquote on the internet”

“The danger of going after non-prescription forms is that often times they will contain what they claim they contain BPC 157 in this case, but they are not adequately cleaning out the LPS, the lipopolysaccharide, which can cause inflammation. In fact, in the laboratory, we use LPS to deliberately induce fever and inflammation to study systemic inflammation. So, this is a warning to people. If you're interested in peptides, you absolutely need to work with a physician in my opinion.”

“Is it safe? Okay. If it's safe, you obviously have to get the good source because if it's all thesearmacies now, I mean, that's a problem because we do know that that's a big area of I would say concern with any sort of neutrautical, you know, sort of thing. And I would put this into that category is that, you know, people are putting things in the products that are not necessarily what's supposed to be in there and they're not really paying attention to quality because it's not regulated, right?”
