BPC-157 VEGF upregulation, angiogenesis Rotator cuff tears, tendon avulsions 500mcg daily SC for 8–12 weeks University of Split RCT (2025): 62% reduction in adhesions, 4.3-week earlier ROM recovery Strongest evidence for post-surgical tendon repair. Measurable

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • BPC-157
  • VEGF upregulation, angiogenesis
  • Rotator cuff tears, tendon avulsions
  • 500mcg daily SC for 8–12 weeks
  • University of Split RCT (2025): 62% reduction in adhesions, 4.3-week earlier ROM recovery
  • Strongest evidence for post-surgical tendon repair. Measurable outcomes across multiple trials
  • TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4)
  • Actin polymerization, fibroblast migration
  • Tendon adhesions, impaired glide mechanics
  • 5–10mg weekly IM for 6–8 weeks
  • Equine Veterinary Journal (2023): 6.8-week earlier return to training, 35% better fiber alignment
  • Mechanism is conserved across species. Human trials underway, veterinary data robust
  • GHK-Cu
  • Collagen I/III remodeling, TGF-beta inhibition
  • Post-surgical fibrosis, scar tissue restriction
  • 1–2mg daily SC or topical application
  • Johns Hopkins pilot (2024): 47% higher Type I collagen density, 29% greater passive ROM
  • Anti-fibrotic effect is the differentiator. Prevents restrictive adhesions without impairing healing
