“I'm a competitive amateur cyclist. I've been reading about BPC-157 for recovery. Is it WADA compliant?”

BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from human gastric juice, showing promising regenerative properties in preclinical studies for tendon, muscle and bone healing. However, rigorous, large-scale human clinical trials are lacking, and it is not FDA-approved, often classified as an unapproved, banned substance by WADA.
