- BPC-157
- Upregulates VEGF and FGF receptors; accelerates collagen synthesis
- Tendons, ligaments, GI lining
- 250–500mcg twice daily, subcutaneous
- Structural changes visible in 10–14 days
- Most direct evidence for soft tissue repair—essential for fighters with chronic tendon issues
- TB-500
- Promotes actin upregulation and cell migration; inhibits fibrosis
- Muscle, connective tissue, systemic inflammation
- 2–2.5mg twice weekly for 4–6 weeks, then maintenance
- Symptom improvement in 7–10 days; full effect at 4–6 weeks
- Best anti-fibrotic peptide—critical for reducing scar tissue that limits mobility
- CJC-1295/Ipamorelin
- GHRH analog + ghrelin agonist; stimulates pulsatile GH release
- Muscle protein synthesis, sleep quality, lipolysis
- 100–200mcg each before bed (ipamorelin nightly, CJC 1–2x/week)
- IGF-1 elevation measurable within 7 days
- Safest GH secretagogue stack—maintains natural pulsatility without axis suppression
- MK 677
- Oral ghrelin mimetic; elevates GH and IGF-1
- Systemic growth hormone elevation, appetite stimulation
- 12.5–25mg once daily, oral
- Consistent effect after 2–3 weeks
- Oral alternative to injections—useful for athletes who can't access injectables
- Thymalin
- Thymic peptide; modulates immune function and reduces overtraining markers
- Immune system, systemic recovery
- 5–10mg 2–3 times weekly, subcutaneous
- Subjective improvements (reduced illness, better sleep) in 10–14 days
- Underutilised for fighters in chronic caloric deficit—immune support becomes critical during weight cuts
