Injury Healing & Recovery Protocol

Accelerate tissue repair for tendons, ligaments, and muscles

moderate evidence

A systematic approach to faster recovery from soft tissue injuries using peptides that promote angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and cellular regeneration. Built on BPC-157 and TB-500 research showing significant improvements in healing timelines.

Overview

Who This Protocol
Is Designed For

“Soft tissue injuries can sideline you for months. This protocol uses peptides that have shown 40-60% faster healing in animal studies, targeting the biological pathways that rebuild tendons, ligaments, and muscle tissue.”

Ideal Candidates

Athletes recovering from strains, sprains, or tendon injuries
Anyone with chronic tendinopathy that hasn't responded to rest alone
Post-surgical patients looking to optimize recovery (with doctor approval)
People with nagging injuries that keep coming back

Contraindications

Active cancer or history of cancer (peptides may stimulate cell growth)
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Anyone on blood thinners without physician supervision
Acute infections at injection sites

Expected Outcome

Most users report noticeable improvement in pain and function within 2-4 weeks. Complete healing timelines depend on injury severity, but research suggests 30-50% faster recovery compared to rest alone. Results are best when combined with proper rehabilitation.

The Science

& Evidence Base

How It Works

Peptide

Mechanism

Biological Rationale

Targeted metabolic intervention at the receptor level

These peptides work by activating your body's natural repair systems. BPC-157 increases growth hormone receptor expression in tendon cells and promotes blood vessel formation to bring nutrients to damaged tissue. TB-500 regulates actin (a key structural protein) and stimulates cell migration to injury sites. Together, they create an environment where your body can rebuild tissue faster and stronger.

Healing is slow because injured tissue has poor blood supply, limited stem cell recruitment, and sluggish collagen production. These peptides address all three bottlenecks: they grow new blood vessels (angiogenesis), attract repair cells to the injury, and upregulate collagen and growth factor production.

Human Studies

In Vitro Studies

moderate

Evidence Strength

Key Findings

BPC-157 improved rat ligament healing across all measures over 90 days (biomechanical, histological, functional)
TB-500 increased wound re-epithelialization by 42-61% in rat models
GHK-Cu improved ACL graft stiffness at 6 weeks post-surgery in rats
BPC-157 works via multiple routes: injection, oral, and topical all showed efficacy

Limitations

Most studies are in rodents - human clinical trials are limited
Optimal dosing for humans extrapolated from animal data
Long-term safety data in humans is sparse

Protocol Tiers

Protocol Level

Best For

Minor sprains, early-stage tendinopathy, first-time users who want to assess tolerance

Cycle Duration

6-8 weeks

Off-Cycle

4 weeks minimum

Single peptide approach using BPC-157 alone. The most studied healing peptide with the best safety profile. Good for minor to moderate injuries or first-time peptide users.

Peptide

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound)

Dose Range

250-500 mcg

Frequency

daily

Route

subcutaneous

Duration

6-8 weeks

Timing

Morning, or split AM/PM 12 hours apart

Special Instructions

Inject into fatty tissue near the injury when possible. Rotate injection sites. Can also be taken orally (500 mcg) but absorption is lower.

When to Stop

Severe allergic reaction (hives, breathing difficulty, facial swelling)
Significant unexplained swelling at injury site
Any symptoms that feel seriously wrong - trust your gut
