What are the most common mistakes with KPV?
The most common KPV mistakes are skipping BPC-157 in a gut protocol, they work together, not as substitutes; underdosing for stubborn inflammation; expecting fast results on chronic conditions. Most issues people run into come down to protocol and expectations, not the compound itself. Going in informed matters here because human evidence for KPV is limited.
