Peptides in tissue-repair research
Recovery is the largest research category and the weakest in human evidence. Here is what the published work covers, and where it stops.
Most tissue-repair peptide research uses animal models. Rodent studies dominate the tendon, ligament and gut literature.
Human trials stay rare. Across BPC-157, TB-500 and GHK-Cu, the published human record covers a small number of people, and few studies used a control group.

Evidence and status, side by side
| Compound | Evidence grade | Regulatory status | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | Moderate | Not approved for human use. Sold for laboratory research only. | Open → |
| TB-500 | Emerging | Not approved for human use. Sold for laboratory research only. | Open → |
| GHK-Cu | Moderate | Cosmetic topical uses exist; injectable use is research-only and not FDA-approved. | Open → |
