- BPC-157
- Upregulates VEGF, EGF, FGF receptors; promotes angiogenesis and collagen synthesis
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy, hand ligament microtrauma, TFCC damage
- Moderate (animal models, limited human trials)
- 200–500 mcg SubQ 2x daily near injury site or systemically
- Reduces tendon healing time by ~40% in research models
- TB-500
- Binds actin monomers; enhances cell migration and tissue remodeling; downregulates TNF-α
- Muscle strain recovery, rotator cuff tears, systemic inflammation reduction
- Moderate (animal models, observational athletic use)
- 2–2.5 mg SubQ 2x weekly (acute phase), then 2 mg weekly (maintenance)
- Accelerates muscle injury recovery by ~40% in animal studies
- CJC-1295/Ipamorelin
- Stimulates pulsatile GH release; elevates IGF-1; enhances systemic protein synthesis
- Overall tissue repair, cartilage health, joint inflammation reduction
- High (human trials for GH dynamics; extrapolated for athletic recovery)
- 100 mcg each SubQ once daily before sleep
- Improves lean tissue repair and reduces perceived recovery time in controlled settings
- MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
- Oral ghrelin mimetic; sustained GH elevation
- Chronic joint health, sleep quality improvement, lean mass preservation
- Moderate (Phase II trials; off-label athletic use)
- 12.5–25 mg orally once daily
- Sustained elevation of GH/IGF-1 improves recovery markers over 8–12 weeks
- Cerebrolysin
- Neurotrophic peptide blend; promotes BDNF and NGF pathways
- Neuroprotection from subconcussive impacts, cognitive recovery post-sparring
- Moderate (human trials in stroke/TBI; extrapolated for sports neuroprotection)
- 5–10 mL IV or IM 3x weekly during high-volume sparring blocks
- Reduces neuroinflammatory markers; supports cognitive function under repeated head impacts
