However, when it comes to peptides like BPC 157, which are sensitive to environmental conditions, the promise of stability in capsules stored at room temperature merits a closer look
However, limitations remain, such as occasional difficulty in the synthesis and handling of strained and unstable compounds, while crucially a degree of incompatibility towards cysteine has been reported 99,100
