- BPC-157
- Upregulates VEGF, FGF-2, EGF at injury sites. Drives angiogenesis and collagen deposition
- 250–500 mcg/day, injected near injury site
- Acute tendon injuries, pulley strains, medial epicondylitis
- 10–21 days
- First-line peptide for localized tendon damage. Works best when injected close to injury site during the repair phase
- TB-500
- Actin-binding peptide that promotes cell migration and tissue remodeling systemically
- 2–5 mg twice weekly (loading), 2 mg weekly (maintenance)
- Chronic overuse injuries, systemic inflammation, joint mobility restriction
- 3–4 weeks
- Best for chronic issues affecting multiple joints or tendons. Systemic action means injection site doesn't matter
- Ipamorelin
- Stimulates pituitary GH release, leading to downstream IGF-1 production and collagen synthesis
- 200–300 mcg/day, typically before bed
- Generalized recovery, body composition management, systemic tissue repair
- 4–6 weeks
- Not injury-specific but creates a hormonal environment conducive to repair. Pair with BPC-157 or TB-500 for targeted outcomes
- MK-677
- Oral ghrelin mimetic that elevates GH and IGF-1 levels for 24 hours per dose
- 10–25 mg/day, taken orally
- Long-term recovery protocols, bone density improvement, appetite support
- 2–3 weeks
- Convenient oral administration but can cause water retention and increased appetite. Useful for climbers struggling to maintain caloric intake during high-volume training
