- BPC-157
- VEGF upregulation, angiogenesis stimulation
- 200–500 mcg SC daily or twice daily
- Increased tendon healing strength by 73% at 14 days in rodent models (Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 2020)
- Weeks 1–8 post-injury (inflammation and early proliferation)
- Most effective for accelerating blood vessel formation into hypovascular tissue during acute healing
- TB-500
- Actin binding, fibroblast migration, anti-inflammatory
- 2–5 mg SC 1–2x weekly acute phase; 2 mg every 10–14 days maintenance
- Reduced fibrous scar tissue by 40% while increasing tensile strength (Harvard Medical School tendon repair models)
- Weeks 2–12 (proliferation and early remodeling)
- Superior for preventing excessive fibrosis while promoting organized collagen deposition
- GHK-Cu
- MMP modulation, collagen type I synthesis
- 1–3 mg SC 3x weekly
- Increased collagen density 50–70% in dermal healing (Wound Repair and Regeneration systematic review, 2019)
- Months 3–12 (remodeling and maturation)
- Best choice for reducing graft laxity and improving structural integrity during late-stage remodeling
