- Post-injury tendon repair
- Strong (62+ preclinical studies)
- Animal models (rodent)
- 40% faster collagen deposition, 89% tensile strength restoration
- Indirect—faster healing may reduce chronic reinjury risk
- Most robust data set; mechanism well-characterised but limited to post-injury contexts
- Ligament healing acceleration
- Moderate (12+ studies)
- Animal models (MCL, ACL)
- 22% faster return to load-bearing capacity
- Indirect—improved tissue quality post-injury
- Consistent across models but lacks human validation
- Bone fracture recovery
- Emerging (4 studies)
- Animal models (femur, tibia)
- 22% faster callus formation, synergy with BMP-2
- Minimal—bone prevention is a distinct mechanism
- Promising but underpowered; needs replication
- Human injury prevention
- Absent
- No controlled trials
- N/A—only case reports and anecdotes exist
- None—no direct evidence
- Major evidence gap; prevention claims are speculative
- Gastrointestinal protection
- Strong (20+ studies)
- Animal models (NSAID damage, IBD)
- Reduced gastric lesions, stabilised gut barrier
- Not applicable to musculoskeletal injury
- Well-documented but outside injury prevention scope
- This comparison underscores the core issue: BPC-157 injury prevention research shows therapeutic efficacy post-damage but lacks prospective prevention trials. The evidence supports recovery protocols, not prophylactic use.
