This product is known to contain a high dose of chaperones or heat-shock proteins. If taken with chicken peas, so that the proteins are not broken into simple amino-acids in the stomach, they could go the the blood flow and enter cells or bath exterior structural proteins. Is there someone interested in testing copal on small animals? To use it as food additive?
