Gut Health
What leaky gut is, BPC-157 and the gut: what is studied, the inflammation research, and the IBS and IBD evidence.
BPC-157 for IBS and IBD: what does the evidence actually show?
A plain-English, primary-sourced look at BPC-157 for IBS and IBD: why the evidence is overwhelmingly preclinical rodent colitis work, why there is no completed human IBS or IBD trial, what is known about side effects, and what people with gut problems are saying. No cure claims.
BPC-157 for gut health: what the research shows
BPC-157 for gut health, from the primary sources: the rat studies on ulcers, colitis, fistulas and bowel surgery, oral versus injected routes, gut inflammation and leaky-gut claims, how long studies ran, side-effect unknowns, why one lab dominates, and what people are saying.
Fibermaxxing took over gut TikTok. Here is what the fiber studies actually support
A dated Gut Protocol Claims Review issue on fibermaxxing: what the trend is, what large fiber meta-analyses and microbiome trials show, where the viral claims overshoot (diversity, detox, more is always better), side effects, and who should go slower.
Gut reset claims, graded: what 3, 7 and 14 day resets can and cannot do to your microbiome
A dated Gut Protocol Claims Review issue on the gut reset trend: juice and cleanse resets, 7 day reset diets and 14 day probiotic resets, graded against what controlled microbiome studies actually show, plus what the research supports if you want to reset your gut naturally.
How do you test for leaky gut at home, and what can a result actually tell you?
A primary-sourced explainer on leaky gut testing: what at-home urine sugar tests, zonulin tests and food IgG panels really measure, how doctors actually work up gut symptoms, and why no test can diagnose 'leaky gut' on its own.
Peptides for gut health: what BPC-157, KPV, thymosin alpha-1, LL-37 and collagen have actually been tested for
The gut-health peptide crowd talks about BPC-157, KPV, thymosin alpha-1, LL-37 and collagen as if they were equal. We grade each one on what has actually been studied, from rat and mouse colitis experiments to the few human trials, with side effects, stacks, cost context and what people are saying.
What is leaky gut, and how much of the online version is real?
A plain-English, primary-sourced explainer that separates measured intestinal permeability, a real and studied phenomenon, from the wellness-industry 'leaky gut syndrome': causes, how it is tested, what has actually helped in trials, how long change takes, and where the BPC-157 claims fit.
