(Heck, were excited about it, too.) Just one problem As of this writing, there are no randomized controlled trials of the effects of BPC 157 in humans
BPC-157 demonstrates effectiveness for tendon and ligament healing in preclinical animal models, though confirmed human efficacy data does not exist in published clinical trials

Additionally, a study that administered vitamin B-12 to rats with a high-fat diet showed that the rats did not gain as much weight as their counterparts who didnt receive the vitamin
