- | Peptide | Primary Mechanism | Target Tissue | Inflammation Effect | Typical Dosing (Research Models) | Storage Sensitivity | Professional Assessment ||—|—|—|—|—|—|| BPC-157 | Upregulates VEGF and fibroblast growth factor; promotes angiogenesis and collagen synthesis at injury sites | Tendons, ligaments, muscle-tendon junctions | Indirect. Reduces inflammation by accelerating repair | 200–500 mcg daily SC/IM | Moderate. Stable frozen; 30-day shelf life post-reconstitution at 2–8°C | Best for acute tendon injuries (gluteal tendinopathy, iliopsoas strain). Direct repair signalling. || TB-500 | Binds actin; modulates cytoskeletal organisation; reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha) | Cartilage, synovial membrane, systemic circulation | Direct. Systemic anti-inflammatory action | 2–10 mg weekly, split across 2–3 doses | High. Degrades quickly at room temp; 7-day max post-reconstitution | Best for chronic inflammation or osteoarthritis. Systemic effect. || GHK-Cu | Activates
