A lot of the simpler / naturally occurring peptides never seem to get real investment or approval.
One angle is this:
If something already exists in the body, it generally can’t be patented in its natural form. That changes the incentive completely.
So you end up with:• less ownership potential• less large-scale investment• less push toward approval
Curious how others see this —
Do you think lack of patents is a big reason certain compounds stay in the “underground” space?
Or is it something else entirely?
