- BPC-157
- Growth hormone receptor upregulation, FAK-paxillin pathway activation, collagen fiber organization
- 200–500mcg daily subcutaneous
- 4–6 weeks for tendon/ligament adaptation
- High affinity for tendon-to-bone junctions, gastric mucosa
- Most studied for tendon repair; strongest evidence base for connective tissue healing
- TB-500
- Actin sequestration, cell migration promotion, anti-inflammatory via downregulation of TNF-α and IL-1β
- 2–5mg twice weekly (loading), 2mg weekly (maintenance)
- 2–4 weeks for inflammation reduction, 6–8 weeks for structural adaptation
- Broad systemic distribution, effective across multiple tissue types
- Best for reducing recovery time between training sessions; less tissue-specific than BPC-157
- GHK-Cu
- Copper-dependent collagen synthesis, lysyl oxidase cofactor, glycosaminoglycan production
- 1–3mg daily subcutaneous or 2–5mg topical
- 6–8 weeks for collagen remodeling effects
- Fibroblast activity enhancement across all connective tissues
- Copper bioavailability is the limiting factor; works best in combination with other peptides
- Ipamorelin + CJC-1295
- Growth hormone secretagogue combination, systemic GH elevation
- 200–300mcg each compound daily
- 8–12 weeks for tissue-level effects
- Indirect effects through GH/IGF-1 axis elevation
- Slower onset than direct tissue repair peptides; better for long-term tissue quality maintenance
