Muscle & Recovery

Recovery peptides help the body repair muscle tissue, reduce inflammation, and return to training faster. Growth hormone secretagogues in this category also support lean mass gains over time.

Key points

BPC-157 and TB-500 are the most popular injury recovery peptides
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin stack is widely used for lean mass and recovery
Results are most pronounced when combined with adequate protein and sleep

Peptides in this category

8 peptides found

Tissue healing, gut repair

BPC-157

Moderate

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protein found in gastric juice. It has shown significant regenerative properties in preclinical studies, particularly for tendons, ligaments, and gut tissue.

Half-life

~4 hours

Route

Subcutaneous / Oral

Full profile

Injury recovery, inflammation

TB-500

Moderate

TB-500 is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide found in high concentrations in blood platelets and wound fluid. It promotes cell migration, reduces inflammation, and supports tissue regeneration.

Half-life

~3–4 days

Route

Subcutaneous / Intramuscular

Full profile

Growth hormone stimulation

CJC-1295

Moderate

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a pulsatile, natural pattern. Often combined with Ipamorelin for synergistic effect.

Half-life

~6–8 days (with DAC)

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Growth hormone release, recovery

Ipamorelin

Moderate

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist. It stimulates growth hormone release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin, making it one of the cleaner GH-releasing peptides available.

Half-life

~2 hours

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Growth hormone release, appetite stimulation

GHRP-6

Moderate

GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates growth hormone secretion via the ghrelin receptor. It is one of the original GH secretagogue peptides and is notable for its significant appetite-stimulating effect.

Half-life

~15–60 minutes

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Growth hormone release, cardiac protection

Hexarelin

Moderate

Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide GHRP with one of the strongest growth hormone-releasing effects of any peptide in its class. It also has a unique secondary mechanism — direct cardioprotective activity independent of GH release.

Half-life

~70 minutes

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Growth hormone optimisation, body composition, recovery

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin Blend

Moderate

The CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin combination is one of the most widely used peptide stacks in the research community. By pairing a GHRH analogue (CJC-1295) with a GHRP (Ipamorelin), the blend produces a synergistic and sustained elevation of growth hormone that neither compound achieves alone.

Half-life

CJC-1295 DAC: ~6–8 days; Ipamorelin: ~2 hours

Route

Subcutaneous injection

Full profile

Growth hormone replacement, body composition, anti-aging

HGH 191AA (Somatropin)

High

HGH 191AA refers to recombinant human growth hormone (somatropin) — a 191 amino acid protein identical to the growth hormone naturally produced by the pituitary gland. It is a licensed medicine used for GH deficiency, muscle-wasting conditions, and short stature. It is also widely used off-label for body composition and anti-aging.

Half-life

~2–3 hours (subcutaneous)

Route

Subcutaneous injection / Intramuscular injection
