- Acute Muscle Strain (Grade 1-2)
- 5–7.5mg (split twice weekly)
- 4 weeks
- 2.5–5mg (once weekly)
- 4–6 weeks
- 3–5 weeks to pain-free training
- Best results when initiated within 48 hours of injury; delays reduce efficacy by 30–40%
- Tendon Injury (Achilles, Patellar)
- 7.5–10mg (split twice weekly)
- 6 weeks
- 5mg (once weekly)
- 8 weeks
- 6–10 weeks to full load tolerance
- Tendon healing is slower than muscle; maintenance phase is critical to prevent re-injury
- Ligament Sprain (Ankle, Knee)
- 6–8 weeks
- 4–8 weeks depending on grade
- Combines well with structured rehab; peptide alone won't restore proprioception
- Chronic Overuse (Tendinopathy)
- 10–12 weeks
- 8–14 weeks to symptom resolution
- Longest protocols; chronic inflammation requires extended maintenance to fully resolve
