Care guide / Question worksheet
Put the claim beside its source.
Ask for the source, then ask which part of your question it answers. Keep the unanswered part on your list.
If this is where you are
You have read a promise about stamina or recovery. A study is mentioned, but you cannot tell what it measured or whether it applies to the proposed product.
Ask what the study actually tested
Ask for the study behind the claim. Write down its title and what the people in it were trying to improve. Was the work in people, in animals or in cells in a lab?
Then ask about the result in ordinary words. Was endurance measured? What changed, compared with what? How close were the people studied to the people being offered care?
The US agency that reviews medicines is the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA.
The FDA had not checked made-to-order medicines for safety, how well they worked or quality before sale as of September 26, 2026.
FDA / Review of made-to-order medicinesAsk whether the evidence offered describes the actual product you would receive, rather than another product with the same ingredient name.
A problem report tells the FDA that someone had a problem after taking a medicine. The report alone cannot prove the medicine caused it. It also cannot show how often that problem happens.
FDA / How to read reports of problemsIf you compete, check the sport rules too
WADA is the World Anti-Doping Agency, which publishes rules used in sport. Anti-doping rules say which substances a sport bans. Ask which rule body and list apply to your event.
Under the WADA rules in force as of September 26, 2026, BPC-157 was banned during competition and outside it.
WADA / The list used for these sport checksThe WADA list in force at that September 2026 check also banned TB-500, ipamorelin and sermorelin at all times.
WADA / Other substances banned at all timesAs checked on September 26, 2026, WADA had published its next list, which takes effect on January 1, 2027.
WADA / The next list and its start dateThe NCAA is the US college sports association.
For college athletes, the NCAA’s 2026–27 rules ban a group of substances that includes BPC-157 and TB-500. These are examples, not the full list.
NCAA / College sport has its own listKeep your sport question separate from your care question. Ask the body that sets your rules for a written answer about the exact substance.
