- BPC-157
- VEGF upregulation, angiogenesis, fibroblast migration to injury sites
- 250–500 mcg/day subcutaneous injection
- 7–14 days (pain reduction); 4–6 weeks (functional improvement)
- Animal studies robust; human data limited to case reports
- Strongest angiogenic signal; best for acute-phase tissue repair and pain modulation
- TB-500
- Actin binding, cell migration, collagen remodeling, MMP regulation
- Loading: 2–2.5 mg twice/week for 4–6 weeks; Maintenance: 2 mg once/week
- 14–21 days (pain reduction); 6–8 weeks (structural remodeling)
- Animal tendon models show 30–40% strength improvement; human trials absent
- Superior for long-term tissue quality and scar tissue prevention
- IGF-1 LR3
- Insulin-like growth factor receptor activation, satellite cell proliferation
- 40–80 mcg/day systemic injection
- 21–28 days (muscle hypertrophy around joint); tendon benefit unclear
- Muscle hypertrophy well-documented; tendon-specific data minimal
- Indirect benefit through improved muscle support; not primary tendon repair agent
- GHK-Cu
- Copper peptide with collagen synthesis and anti-inflammatory properties
- Topical application or 1–2 mg systemic injection
- 14–21 days (cosmetic tissue appearance); structural tendon benefit unproven
- Strong dermal wound healing data; tendon application speculative
- Weak evidence for deep tendon pathology; better suited for superficial tissue
