It does, right. And so it works well if you're, you know, we'll get into taking a growth hormone-releasing peptide. It pairs very well with that because then you're working both sides of the equation, meaning if you're using a growth hormone-releasing peptide like semirelin or ipramirelin, GHRP6, whatever, you're helping your pituitary put out more growth hormone.

Well, if you combine it with BPC, which upregulates the growth hormone receptor, you make the process of growth hormone binding more efficient. So you get more out of it. Then you can use less of the growth hormone-releasing peptide with the same result.

I think it can. What we've observed is it's more limited to the gut. So people with any sort of gastrointestinal issue, whether that's inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel, you name it, leaky gut, I think oral BPC is more effective there. Has it been shown to be effective for those conditions or have you observed that clinically?

I've certainly observed that clinically. But interestingly, I've observed a better clinical response when people inject it.

even for gastrointestinal related things so i think injecting and then so people injecting subq which is right under the skin we use the tiniest of needles like an insulin needle 30 or 31 gauge we're talking super small um and so i know a lot of people like i'm never injecting yeah this is less painful than a um than a texas mosquito bite there you go super easy once you do it once or twice it's really easy and we walk people how to do how to do that but interestingly i we started thinking okay if you've got something going on your gut you should take oral ppc because it's going to target it right then and i found

Now, if we're injecting, it actually works better than the oral. And then it came up, well, what if I've got an elbow injury? Should I inject it in my elbow? And we found actually don't. It's going to work systemically. You can inject it in your abdomen or your rear end.

You're still going to get benefit in your elbow, but now you're going to get benefit in all your joints, all over your body systemically.
