- MOTS-C
- Activates AMPK → mitochondrial biogenesis and substrate utilisation
- 5–10mg twice weekly subcutaneous
- 4–6 weeks (mitochondrial density)
- Best choice for athletes prioritising oxidative capacity over short-term recovery
- TB-500
- Upregulates VEGF → angiogenesis and capillary density
- 5mg twice weekly subcutaneous
- 8–12 weeks (capillary formation)
- Requires consistent protocol. Benefits compound over training blocks, not single sessions
- BPC-157
- Increases collagen synthesis via FAK-paxillin pathway
- 250–500mcg daily subcutaneous
- 2–4 weeks (soft tissue repair)
- Most effective when combined with targeted rehab exercises. Peptide accelerates but doesn't replace mechanical loading
- GHRP-2
- Stimulates pulsatile GH release → IGF-1 upregulation
- 100–300mcg three times daily subcutaneous
- 3–5 weeks (vascular compliance)
- Timing matters. Administer before training and sleep for maximal GH pulse amplitude
