Peptides for recovery and injury

6 peptides used for injury recovery and tissue repair, ranked by how much human research backs each one. Status, lab purity and mixing math for every one. Educational, not medical advice.

Ranked by evidence

  1. ARA-290

    An EPO-derived peptide that protects tissue without raising red blood cells.

    Small human Phase 2 trials (sarcoidosis small-fiber neuropathy, type 2 diabetes neuropathy). No Phase 3.

  2. BPC-157

    The most-discussed healing peptide, built on a stomach-protein fragment.

    Dozens of rodent studies; only tiny human pilot data (e.g. knee pain retrospective, IV safety pilot).

  3. BPC-157 + TB-500

    The 'Wolverine stack' in one vial: local and whole-body repair together.

    No studies of the combination. Each part is mostly animal data with minimal human work.

  4. KLOW

    A four-peptide repair blend: GLOW plus the anti-inflammatory KPV.

    No studies of the blend itself. Rated no higher than its weakest core parts (BPC-157, TB-500, KPV are mostly animal data).

  5. TB-500

    Synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4, used for whole-body recovery.

    Full-length Tβ4 has some human trials (eye, wound); TB-500 fragment is mostly animal and anecdotal.

  6. Flgr-242

    A recombinant follistatin analog engineered to bind myostatin and activin.

    No published human, animal, or in‑vitro studies specific to FLGR‑242; only background on follistatin biology.
