Healing & Recovery Peptides
Tissue repair peptides for tendons, ligaments, muscles, and systemic healing.
Healing peptides speed up your body's tissue repair. They're used for tendon injuries, ligament tears, muscle strains, gut issues, and post-surgical recovery. BPC-157 and TB-500 are the two you'll see mentioned most.
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) comes from a protein found in stomach acid. It promotes blood vessel growth around injured tissue and reduces inflammation. Most of the data comes from animal studies, but it's one of the most widely used research peptides. TB-500 is a fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 that supports tissue repair at a cellular level.
Many people stack BPC-157 and TB-500 together — they work through different pathways and may complement each other. We have a dedicated blend calculator for this combo. GHK-Cu is another option, especially for skin healing and collagen production.
