What changed
Added the source-verified Claim Check to the structured claim/source/change registry.
The circulating claim“BPC-157 is clinically proven for tendon repair.”
A 2025 systematic review screened 544 papers and found one human study: 12 people with chronic knee pain, no control group, and no blinding. It found no human tendon-repair trial.
Animal injury models and a small uncontrolled knee-pain series are being described as clinical proof of tendon repair.
Preclinical interest is real. Human tendon-repair proof is not.
Added the source-verified Claim Check to the structured claim/source/change registry.
A well-controlled human study tied to the exact product, population, route, and claimed outcome could change the answer. Mechanism, anecdotes, or a different product cannot substitute for that evidence.
