Has anyone here tried using TB500 on a horse with a bum leg? Curious what results were achieved. I won't use either on myself, not because they are not approved for humans or animals but because they seem overpriced to me. But I would consider using it on a horse with a bum leg if it might reduce her pain. She's almost 30.
So you're saying this isn't a DocToRs hATe ThIS oNe wEiRD TrIck! tweet?
Oh I'm sure it is given the cost of these peptides. That could just be a lack of competition and approval for use outside of the laboratory.

Body builders that push themselves too hard swear by this stuff to reduce their down time but I don't know how much of that is psychological. Body builders use BPC-157 injections for tendon repair [0]. It's also banned in horse races and banned for humans by WADA as it is considered cheating. Here [1] is an example of people trying to figure out if someone is cheating. Perhaps there are more studies on nih.gov by now, Ill check. All the cases I have seen thus far were for race optimizations and not treating old mares with a bum leg.
