Theoretical Risks with Chronic Use Some concerns raised by clinicians and researchers include: Unregulated angiogenesis: Overstimulation of blood vessel growth could hypothetically support tumor progression in cancer-prone individuals Unknown hormonal crosstalk: While BPC-157 is non-hormonal, it interacts with systems (e.g., nitric oxide, dopamine) that may influence downstream signaling Immune tolerance or desensitization: Chronic exposure to any peptide could alter immune recognition or receptor sensitivity over time These concerns are theoretical , but they highlight why BPC-157 should not be used indefinitely or in uncontrolled cycles
