Scientific American: "The Science Behind the Peptide Craze" Warns of Gap Between Hype and Evidence
Scientific American published a comprehensive April 18 feature examining the self-injection wellness peptide movement, focusing on BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, KPV, and ipamorelin. The piece notes that only three small pilot studies have looked at BPC-157 in humans, that most evidence is from rodent models, and that consumers are ordering the compounds from overseas — usually from China — while the FDA prepares to review the category at its July advisory panel.
