I’ve been doing a lot of reading on different peptides lately and I keep coming across mixed information when it comes to their relationship with cancer risk or progression. I know some peptides can stimulate growth factors or cellular repair, but I’m also seeing warnings that certain ones might accelerate cancer if it’s already present.
I’m not trying to self-diagnose anything, just trying to understand what’s legit vs. what’s internet fearmongering. Are there specific peptides that are known (or suspected) to increase cancer risk, like growth-hormone–related ones (e.g., BPC-157, TB-500, IGF-1 LR3, etc.)? And are there safer options for recovery or anti-inflammatory purposes that don’t carry that concern?
Would really appreciate any scientific input, experiences, or even good studies anyone can share. Just trying to stay informed before deciding whether or not to use anything. I personally haven’t been screened for cancer, there’s only some history on my mothers side (Aunt, Grandma, Great Aunt) and I’m also half Ashkenazi Jewish from my mother, not entirely sure if I carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation genes.
Thanks in advance!
