Healing peptides — when to use which, in plain English

A simple decision framework for picking the right healing peptide for the situation.

I get asked this constantly — 'which healing peptide should I run for X?'. Here's the simplest version of my answer.

Localized soft-tissue (tendon, ligament, recent injury): BPC-157 alone, 4–6 weeks, dosed near the site.

Systemic recovery after a hard training block or surgery: TB-500 alone or BPC-157 + TB-500 stack, 6–8 weeks.

Gut healing (IBS, post-illness gut issues): BPC-157, often oral or subq, 4–6 weeks.

Joint pain that won't resolve: BPC-157 site-injection near (not into) the joint, plus loading rehab.

Skin healing or scar: GHK-Cu topical, daily, for as long as you want results to continue.

Clean framework. I'd add: define an exit point at the start. 'Six weeks and reassess' beats 'until it feels right.'

The 'near the site, not into the joint' point matters and a lot of people get this wrong. Subq near the affected area is the standard practice.
