Peptides studied for muscle & recovery

Recovery peptides studied for muscle and soft-tissue repair, performance and wound healing.

1

HGH

Recombinant growth hormone

GH/IGF-1 signalling promotes protein synthesis, lean-tissue growth and repair — established in deficiency and wasting states.

2

BPC-157

Body Protection Compound

Accelerates muscle healing and revascularisation after crush/transection injury in rodents.

3

TB-500

Thymosin Beta-4 fragment

Speeds cell migration and angiogenesis in muscle and soft-tissue repair in animal models.

4

SS-31

Mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide

Approved to improve muscle strength in Barth syndrome and studied in mitochondrial myopathy, where fatigue is bioenergetic in origin.

5

MOTS-c

Mitochondrial peptide

Showed synergistic metabolic gains when combined with exercise training in animals.

6

Tesamorelin

GHRH analog

Raising GH/IGF-1 modestly increases lean body mass.

7

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin

GHRH + ghrelin agonist

Elevated GH/IGF-1 is theorised to aid recovery and lean mass; controlled human trials are lacking.

8

Collagen peptides

Hydrolysed collagen

With resistance training, shows modest lean-mass/strength gains, especially in older adults.

9

NAD+

Coenzyme (NMN/NR)

Preliminary data on arterial stiffness and physical performance in older adults.
