- BPC-157
- Upregulates VEGF and collagen synthesis at injury sites
- Animal models only. No human RCTs
- Experimental use for soft tissue and bone injuries
- Promising preclinical data but unverified in humans
- TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4)
- Promotes actin polymerisation and angiogenesis
- Limited human trials. Mostly animal data
- Soft tissue repair, tendon injuries
- Similar mechanism to BPC-157 with equally limited human evidence
- rhBMP-2 (Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2)
- Induces osteoblast differentiation directly
- FDA-approved for spinal fusion and tibial fractures
- Surgical bone grafting only
- Proven efficacy in controlled surgical settings. Not applicable to stress fractures
- Vitamin D3 + K2
- Supports calcium absorption and directs mineralisation
- Extensive clinical evidence
- Baseline bone health maintenance
- Essential but insufficient for accelerated fracture healing
- Collagen Peptides (Oral)
- Provides amino acid precursors for endogenous collagen synthesis
- Moderate evidence for connective tissue support
- General recovery nutrition
- Supports baseline repair but no evidence for accelerated healing
