Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is FDA approved but does not typically contain significant numbers of stem cells, despite claims.

“And you also hear about stem cells, which are not FDA approved, at least in this, for most uses in this country, but are certainly, people are flying down to Colombia and getting injections. And what is your understanding or experience with things like BPC-157, specifically, 'cause peptides is a huge landscape. We should probably do a whole episode on peptides. Things like PRP. PRP is now approved for, I mean, women are getting injections of this into their ovaries to improve follicle count. We know this. People are getting injections of PRP into every tissue and organ and, hell, men are getting injected into their penis, so I hear, for all sorts of reasons that are unclear to me. What's the deal with PRP, BPC-157, and stem cells? Do you ever see interesting effects? Are you curious about these compounds? Do you prescribe or direct people towards these? The FDA approved ones of course.”
