Bet soon I can buy this from a roided up guy in the locker rooms of my local gym. Middle aged power lifters would love to pop these pills.

Most definitely. I'm almost in that demographic myself and several of the slightly older, nerdy lifters at my gym talk about BPC-157 as something they would consider using.

If this gets proven to work in vivo in humans I'm certain we'll see the same no matter side effects.
