Three weeks into a BPC-157 protocol (250mcg subQ, AM) and my HRV has dropped noticeably on WHOOP while sleep efficiency has taken a hit too. Worth noting these are just my personal tracked numbers and seem to go against the, general pattern where BPC-157 tends to raise HRV, though I figure individual variability is a thing.
