- BPC-157
- VEGF upregulation, angiogenesis, gastric cytoprotection
- Rotator cuff tears, tendon-to-bone healing, chronic tendinopathy
- 200–500 mcg daily SC, divided doses
- 40+ animal studies; no Phase III human trials
- Best for hypovascular tissue injuries where blood flow is the limiting factor in repair
- TB-500
- Actin binding, cell migration, MMP modulation
- Muscle strains, ligament tears, adhesion prevention
- 2–5 mg twice weekly (loading), 2 mg weekly (maintenance)
- Extensive equine data; limited human trials
- Superior for injuries where scar tissue and adhesions are primary concerns
- GHK-Cu
- Copper-dependent MMP regulation, collagen remodeling
- Post-surgical recovery, chronic inflammation, tissue quality
- 1–5 mg 3x weekly SC
- Decades of wound healing research; orthopedic data indirect
- Best as adjunct therapy to balance synthesis and degradation during remodeling phase
- Ipamorelin + CJC-1295
- Growth hormone secretagogue, IGF-1 elevation
- Systemic recovery support, muscle preservation during immobilization
- 200–300 mcg each, daily or EOD
- Indirect. GH/IGF-1 pathways well-studied for tissue repair
- Complements localized peptides by maintaining anabolic state during extended recovery
