Compared to NSAIDs: No gastrointestinal toxicity No cardiac risks No kidney damage risk No drug interactions Actively promotes healing rather than masking symptoms Compared to corticosteroids: No immunosuppression No bone density loss No endocrine disruption No adrenal suppression Promotes healing rather than suppressing inflammation Compared to other peptides: Similar or better safety profile Minimal side effects No hormonal disruption Well tolerated across populations Regulatory and Ethical Considerations Researchers should be aware of the regulatory status
