Huberman explores is BPC-157, a peptide that has garnered attention for its tissue-repair properties
The body might absorb some of the individual amino acids (glycine, histidine, lysine) and the copper, but not the intact, active GHK-Cu molecule needed for its unique signaling effects
The peptide diffuses slowly from the injection site into surrounding capillaries over 3090 minutes, creating sustained low-level serum exposure rather than the sharp peak seen with intravenous bolus
