- Time to 90° Flexion
- 12–16 days
- 14–18 days
- 19–24 days
- TB-500 shows slight edge in early ROM milestones due to enhanced fibroblast migration
- Inflammation Biomarkers (IL-1β at Week 2)
- 37% reduction vs baseline
- 28% reduction vs baseline
- 12% reduction vs baseline
- Both peptides outperform rehab alone; TB-500 demonstrates stronger anti-inflammatory effect
- Return to Sport-Specific Training
- 10–12 weeks post-op
- 11–13 weeks post-op
- 14–16 weeks post-op
- TB-500 and BPC-157 comparable; both significantly faster than standard protocol
- Cost Per 8-Week Protocol
- $240–$320
- $180–$240
- $0 (rehab visits excluded)
- BPC-157 more cost-effective for budget-conscious athletes with similar clinical outcomes
- Re-injury Rate at 18 Months
- 8.2%
- 9.1%
- 11.7%
- No statistically significant difference between peptide groups; both lower than controls
- Evidence Quality
- Randomized controlled trials, peer-reviewed
- Mostly animal models, limited human trials
- Extensive long-term data
- TB-500 has stronger human clinical evidence base as of 2026
