Injury Recovery

Peptides commonly studied for tendon, ligament, gut, and soft-tissue repair.

Most data here come from animal models. Human evidence for tendon or ligament repair is limited.

Note: The peptides listed here are organized by common research interest, not by medical recommendation.

BPC-157

Animal / Lab

A 15-amino-acid fragment derived from a stomach-protecting protein, widely studied in rodents for gut, tendon, and ligament repair.

Injury RecoveryMuscle Growth & Recovery

TB-500

Animal / Lab

A synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4 studied in animals for wound healing, cardiac repair, and tissue regeneration.

Injury RecoveryMuscle Growth & Recovery

GHK-Cu

Limited Human Evidence

A naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide widely used in cosmetics and studied for skin remodeling and wound healing.

LL-37

Limited Human Evidence

A human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide central to skin and respiratory innate immunity.

Injury RecoverySkin, Hair & Anti-Aging

KPV

Animal / Lab

The C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH studied for anti-inflammatory effects in gut and skin disease.

MGF

Animal / Lab

Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a locally-acting splice variant of IGF-1 (IGF-1Ec) studied for its proposed role in activating muscle stem cells and triggering early muscle repair after mechanical loading. Evidence is almost entirely animal and cell-culture based, with no human therapeutic trials.

Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500)

Experimental

A recovery-focused research blend pairing BPC-157 with TB-500, marketed for soft-tissue and injury repair. Both components have only animal-level evidence, and there are no human trials of the combination.

Injury RecoveryMuscle Growth & Recovery

Wolverine+ (BPC-157 + TB-500 + MGF)

Experimental

An extended recovery stack adding Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) to the BPC-157 + TB-500 blend, aiming to layer muscle-stem-cell activation onto tissue repair. All three components are animal/lab-level only, with no human or combination trials.

Injury RecoveryMuscle Growth & Recovery

Glow (GHK-Cu + TB-500 + BPC-157)

Experimental

A skin-and-recovery research blend combining the copper peptide GHK-Cu with TB-500 and BPC-157, marketed for skin quality and tissue repair. GHK-Cu has human cosmetic data; the other two are animal-only, and the combination is untested.

Skin, Hair & Anti-AgingInjury Recovery

Glow+ (GHK-Cu + TB-500 + BPC-157 + KPV)

Experimental

An anti-inflammatory extension of the Glow blend that adds KPV (an α-MSH fragment) to GHK-Cu, TB-500, and BPC-157, aiming to combine skin remodeling, tissue repair, and inflammation control. The four-peptide combination is untested in humans.
