Peptides are the talk of the town right now in the health space.

Most people don’t know what they are, how many of them there are, what they’re designed to accomplish, or whether or not they’re safe.

I’ll be giving a brief explanation of peptides as a whole here, but my main focus for this article is BPC-157.
