More in Recovery
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound-157
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It consists of 15 amino acids and has been studied for its potential role in tissue repair, wound healing, and gut protection. Animal studies suggest it may accelerate healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the gastrointestinal tract.
MGF
Mechano Growth Factor
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is a splice variant of IGF-1 that is expressed in muscle tissue in response to mechanical stress (exercise) and damage. It plays a role in activating satellite cells, which are muscle stem cells critical for repair and hypertrophy. The synthetic version (PEG-MGF) includes polyethylene glycol modification for extended half-life.
PPS
Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium
Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium (PPS) is a semi-synthetic polysulfated xylan derived from beechwood hemicellulose. While technically a polysaccharide rather than a peptide, it is often discussed alongside peptide therapies for joint and tissue health. It is FDA-approved as Elmiron for interstitial cystitis and has been used in veterinary medicine for osteoarthritis for decades.
