- BPC-157
- Collagen synthesis via VEGF/EGF upregulation
- 250–500mcg 2×/day
- Localised tendon/ligament injury
- Animal models + case reports
- Gold standard for tendon repair. Lacks human RCT data but clinical outcomes consistently positive
- TB-500
- Systemic tissue repair + inflammation modulation
- 2–2.5mg 2×/week
- Multiple overuse sites, systemic recovery
- Preclinical + veterinary use
- Best for managing multiple injury sites simultaneously. Broader coverage than BPC-157
- MOTS-C
- Mitochondrial efficiency + fat oxidation
- 5–10mg 1×/week
- Base training, metabolic conditioning
- Human trials (Cell Metabolism 2015)
- Strongest evidence for endurance-specific adaptation. Effects compound over 4–8 weeks
- CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
- Growth hormone secretion (GHRH + ghrelin pathways)
- CJC 1–2mg weekly, Ipamorelin 200–300mcg nightly
- Recovery weeks, taper phases
- Phase II trials (JCEM)
- Cleanest GH protocol for cyclists. Mimics natural rhythm without cortisol/prolactin elevation
- MK-677
- Oral ghrelin agonist
- 10–25mg daily
- Convenience-focused recovery
- Multiple Phase II trials
- Effective but increases appetite and water retention. Less ideal for weight-conscious cyclists
