BPC-157 references: every study and FDA source cited
The complete citation list behind this site — peer-reviewed BPC-157 research and the FDA regulatory sources, with DOIs, PMIDs, and links you can check.
How to read this list
Every quantitative claim on this BPC-157 site maps to a numbered entry below. The research citations cover mechanism, pharmacokinetics, tissue repair, and the human pilot studies; the final entries are the FDA and federal sources behind the BPC-157 legal status page. Where a study is paywalled, the PubMed or DOI link still resolves to the abstract and metadata. Animal-model figures are reported as study parameters, not human guidance, throughout.
