    Claim

    “BPC-157 heals tendon and ligament injuries”

    Medicinal claim about an unlicensed product

    Why it's a red flag

    BPC-157 is not a UK-licensed medicine. Robust human RCTs for tendon outcomes are lacking — the literature is mostly preclinical (animal). 'Heals' is the medicinal verb the MHRA looks at when assessing whether an unlicensed compound is being marketed as a medicine.

    Safer / more honest wording

    BPC-157 is investigated in preclinical (animal) models for effects on tissue repair; human evidence is limited and it is not approved as a medicine in the UK.
