403 ‒ Peptides: separating scientific promise from marketing hype

What was said

"Even BPC 157 has patents on all its salts and production methods. The pharmaceutical industry is many things, but indifferent to money is not one of them."

Peter Attia argues claims that pharmaceutical firms avoid peptides because “natural” molecules cannot be patented are only partly true. He says companies can patent modifications, delivery systems, manufacturing processes and dosing regimens, and adds BPC-157 has patents covering salts and production methods.
