Best peptides for injury recovery
Peptides that accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support healing from injuries, surgery, or chronic conditions.
What to know
BPC-157 and TB-500 are the most popular healing peptides, often stacked together for complementary mechanisms. BPC-157 excels at gut and tendon injuries with oral bioavailability. TB-500 is better for systemic tissue repair and cardiac healing. GHK-Cu supports wound healing and collagen synthesis topically. Most healing peptide evidence comes from animal studies — human clinical trials are limited.
Recommended peptides
BPC-157
BPC-157
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It has shown remarkable healing properties in preclinical studies across tendons, ligaments, muscle, gut, and nervous system tissue.
TB-500
TB-500
TB-500 is a synthetic version of a segment of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring protein involved in tissue repair, cell migration, and inflammation regulation.
GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu (copper peptide) is a naturally occurring tripeptide bound to copper that declines with age. It is one of the most well-researched peptides for skin regeneration, wound healing, and anti-aging, with over 60 years of published research.
