Healing & Recovery Peptides
Healing and recovery compounds are peptides studied in tissue-repair research: angiogenesis, extracellular-matrix remodeling, and anti-inflammatory signaling. Several are short-lived in plasma yet studied for effects that appear to outlast their presence. Many are preclinical and classed as research materials not approved for human use.

BPC-157
Body Protection Compound · PL 14736
A synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) derived from a gastric protein sequence, studied in animal models for angiogenesis and soft-tissue and gastrointestinal repair. Its effects appear to outlast its brief plasma presence.
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 fragment · TB4
A synthetic peptide based on the active actin-binding region of thymosin beta-4, a G-actin-sequestering peptide studied for cell migration, angiogenesis and tissue repair.
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide · Copper tripeptide-1
A copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine with copper) naturally present in plasma, studied for extracellular-matrix remodeling, collagen and elastin synthesis, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity in skin and tissue repair.
KPV
Lysine-Proline-Valine
A tripeptide corresponding to the C-terminal residues of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, studied preclinically for anti-inflammatory activity via modulation of NF-kB and MAPK signaling, without the pigmentary effects of full-length alpha-MSH.
ARA-290
Cibinetide
An 11-amino-acid non-erythropoietic peptide derived from erythropoietin that selectively activates the innate repair receptor, studied for anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective effects, including sarcoidosis-associated small-fiber neuropathy.
Thymosin Alpha-1
Tα1 · Zadaxin
A 28-amino-acid immunomodulating peptide derived from prothymosin alpha that modulates Toll-like receptor signaling on dendritic cells and helps balance T-cell responses. Marketed as Zadaxin in many countries.
Pentosan Polysulfate
PPS · Elmiron
A semi-synthetic sulfated polysaccharide (heparin-like glycosaminoglycan), FDA-approved (Elmiron) for the pain of interstitial cystitis; thought to replenish the protective glycosaminoglycan layer of the bladder wall, with anti-inflammatory properties.
LL-37
Cathelicidin · hCAP18 · CAMP
The only human cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide, a 37-residue amphipathic peptide cleaved from the hCAP18 precursor (CAMP gene) whose sequence begins with two leucines. Studied for host-defense, immunomodulatory, angiogenic, and wound-repair activity.
KLOW
GHK-Cu + TB-500 + BPC-157 + KPV
A combination preparation grouping the recovery peptides GHK-Cu, TB-500, BPC-157, and KPV into a single blend. Educational reference only; see each component entry for its individual profile and sources.
