- BPC-157
- VEGF upregulation, fibroblast migration, angiogenesis at injury site
- 250–500 mcg SC twice daily
- 4–6 weeks (collagen density)
- Moderate (indirectly through vascularization)
- Best for acute injuries and microtear repair. Addresses vascular insufficiency directly
- TB-500
- Actin modulation, organized collagen deposition, reduced scar formation
- 2–2.5 mg SC twice weekly (loading), 2 mg weekly (maintenance)
- 6–8 weeks (tissue remodeling)
- High (primary mechanism)
- Best for chronic cases with existing fibrosis. Prevents brittle scar tissue
- GHK-Cu
- TNF-α/IL-1β suppression, inflammatory cytokine modulation
- 1–3 mg SC daily
- 2–4 weeks (inflammation markers)
- Moderate (through inflammation control)
- Best for persistent inflammation. Addresses the chronic phase mechanism
- BPC-157 + TB-500
- Synergistic collagen synthesis and organization
- Combined dosing as above
- 4–6 weeks (structural improvement)
- High (TB-500 prevents fibrosis while BPC-157 accelerates repair)
- Most common research combination. Addresses both synthesis and organization
