Human evidence is anecdotal
Limited Human Safety Data : BPC-157 has mostly preclinical evidence, and recent reviews state that well-designed human trials are still needed to assess safety, effectiveness, and clinical value
Thus, its salivary levels may more accurately reflect the systemic inflammatory status , compared to cytokines and chemokines, that are modulated also by oral pathologies
