The reality of the Wolverine stack and safety concerns

This article from The Conversation discusses the popularity of BPC-157 and TB-500 for injury repair. It mentions how people call them the Wolverine stack and notes that human safety data is still quite limited.
I find the focus on the lack of long term data very sensible. For me, using these compounds for my own tendon issues has felt effective, but I am always aware that we are working with very little clinical oversight. The article is right to be cautious because it is easy to get swept up in the hype of rapid healing. We often talk about these like they are proven medicines, but they are still mostly experimental in a human context. Fwiw, I think the lack of large scale studies is exactly why we see so much conflicting information on how to actually structure a protocol.
Does anyone else feel like the lack of safety data makes you more hesitant to use them long term? Or do you think the anecdotal evidence is enough to justify the risk for serious injuries?
