- BPC-157
- Upregulates VEGF and growth factor receptors; promotes angiogenesis and fibroblast activity at injury sites
- Ligament tears, tendon damage, partial muscle tears
- 250–500mcg daily subcutaneous for 4–6 weeks
- ~4 hours (requires daily dosing)
- Most extensively studied for tendon-to-bone healing; strongest evidence base for connective tissue repair
- TB-500
- Actin-sequestering promotes cellular migration; induces angiogenesis in hypoxic tissue
- Rotator cuff tears, deep muscle strains, areas with poor vascular supply
- Loading: 2–2.5mg 2× weekly for 4 weeks; maintenance: 2mg weekly for 4–8 weeks
- ~7–10 days (allows less frequent dosing)
- Best choice for injuries in poorly vascularized tissue; promotes new capillary formation
- IGF-1 LR3
- Extends IGF-1 half-life; activates satellite cells for muscle fiber repair and hypertrophy
- Muscle strains, atrophy prevention during immobilization
- 40–80mcg daily (often split into 2 doses) for 4–8 weeks
- ~20–30 hours (vs. minutes for natural IGF-1)
- Specifically targets muscle regeneration; less effective for connective tissue compared to BPC-157
- GHK-Cu
- Copper-peptide complex; stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis; anti-inflammatory
- Superficial soft tissue injuries, skin lacerations, post-surgical wound healing
- Topical application or 1–2mg subcutaneous 3× weekly
- ~1–2 hours
- Primarily studied for skin and superficial tissue; limited evidence for deep structural injuries
