As Talpos's investigation recounts, the idea traces to 1975, when as a second-year medical student he reasoned that the stomach must produce a natural anti-stress healing substance, which he named Substancija Boe Pomozi, or "Substance God Help Me." His team gathered stomach fluid from clinics and pig slaughterhouses, screened it across years, and in 1989 reported a protein from which they identified the peptide they named BPC-157
Afterward, there are some mild side effects including redness, swelling, bruising (pretty rare), firmness, tenderness, itching, and/or skin sensitivity
That dose, adjusted for human weight, would be roughly 1,600 mg for an average adult, far exceeding any practical use by orders of magnitude
Peptides are essentially the building blocks of more complex proteins
These factors can change the needed dosage
Most long-term protocols settle at 12 mg per day because the doseresponse curve plateaus
