Recovery: From repair signals to real evidence.
Learn why a change in injured animal tissue does not prove that people will heal faster.
What you’ll be able to explainSeparate a repair hypothesis from a demonstrated benefit, and a peptide fragment from its parent molecule.

BPC-157: read beyond the repair claim
Notice the reliance on animal models and the gaps in reliable human safety and efficacy data.
- Interactive diagramAbout 4 min
Trace the proposed repair pathway
Follow a hypothesis from a molecule through tissue signals, without assuming clinical healing.
- Molecule profileAbout 5 min
TB-500 is not all thymosin research
Learn why full-length thymosin beta-4 findings cannot establish the safety or benefit of a fragment.
- Evidence explorerAbout 4 min
Compare the sources, not the promises
Open each source and identify its study type. Ask what would be needed to demonstrate a human benefit.
