- Thymalin
- Thymic regeneration, T-cell maturation
- Immune exhaustion, T-cell depletion, thymic atrophy
- Clinical trials in viral recovery (Russia), observational data
- 10mg SC daily × 10 days
- Most direct mechanism for addressing documented T-cell dysfunction in long-COVID; clinical track record in post-viral immune restoration
- BPC-157
- Angiogenesis, endothelial repair, VEGF modulation
- Microvascular damage, neuroinflammation, tissue ischemia
- Preclinical models (extensive), limited human data
- 250–500mcg SC twice daily × 4–8 weeks
- Strong mechanistic fit for endothelial dysfunction and cognitive symptoms; lacks large-scale human trials but preclinical evidence is robust
- MK-677
- Growth hormone secretion, IGF-1 elevation
- Muscle wasting, mitochondrial dysfunction, anabolic deficit
- Clinical trials in elderly and wasting syndromes
- 12.5–25mg oral once daily × 12+ weeks
- Proven anabolic effects in muscle wasting contexts; addresses metabolic component most standard protocols ignore
- Cerebrolysin
- Neurotrophic support, synaptic repair
- Cognitive impairment, brain fog, neural inflammation
- Clinical trials in stroke and TBI recovery
- 10–30mL IV 5 days/week × 4 weeks
- Established efficacy in neurological recovery; mechanistic overlap with post-COVID cognitive deficits justifies consideration
