Graded
The US health department published a draft policy under which it would not act against pharmacies that make BPC-157 on a prescription for a named patient, until the FDA decides by rule. It is still not an approved medicine.

Recovery and injury

Healing in rats and mice does not reliably predict how human tendons and muscles heal. An unexplained injury should be checked by a doctor first.

First, legal options with stronger studies

  • A doctor checking the injury, with scans when needed.
  • Physiotherapy with gradually more load.
  • Sleep, enough food and a gradual return to training.

What studies found for specific substances

Sorted alphabetically. Order does not imply a recommendation.

  • DBPC-157

    Only uncontrolled reports in people, rated very unreliable. Mostly studies in rats and mice.

  • CGHK-Cu

    A study of 13 people after a laser skin treatment found no clear improvement in measurements. It tested use on the skin, not injections.

  • DPeptide blends

    In one study of tendons in rats, BPC-157 with TB-500 added nothing over either alone. There is no study of a mix in people.

  • DTB-500

    In one study of tendons in rats, TB-500 improved early healing. There is no study of this fragment in people.
