- BPC-157
- Upregulates VEGF and bFGF; enhances angiogenesis and fibroblast migration via FAK-paxillin pathway
- 250–500mcg daily
- Daily (subcutaneous or oral)
- Broad soft tissue repair; gastric protective origin means high GI tolerance
- Best first-choice peptide for acute-to-subacute tendon/ligament injuries; shortest treatment duration in research models (4–6 weeks)
- TB-500
- Promotes actin polymerisation and endothelial cell migration; upregulates MMPs for collagen remodelling
- 2–5mg loading phase, then 2mg maintenance
- Twice weekly (loading), then weekly
- Systemic connective tissue repair; affects multiple injury sites simultaneously
- Ideal for chronic injuries or multiple soft tissue issues; longer half-life reduces injection frequency
- GHK-Cu
- Activates lysyl oxidase for collagen cross-linking; reduces oxidative stress via SOD pathway
- 1–3mg daily
- Daily (subcutaneous or topical)
- Strong collagen remodelling and scar tissue reduction; copper-dependent enzyme activation
- Best used in combination with BPC-157 or TB-500 to ensure new collagen is properly organised; standalone use less common
