Which Peptide Should I Take?

This is the most common reason patients start peptide therapy. You have a tendon injury, a ligament that will not heal, joint pain that physical therapy has not resolved, or a surgical recovery that is stalling.

BPC-157 ($250/month) is the most studied peptide for localized tissue repair. Derived from a protective protein in human gastric juice, it promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and upregulates growth factors directly at injury sites. Over 100 published studies document its effects on tendon, ligament, muscle, and nerve tissue healing. Best for: specific, localized injuries you can inject near.

TB-500 ($250/month) works systemically through a different mechanism. It upregulates actin, a protein involved in cell structure and migration, allowing repair cells to reach damaged tissue more effectively. Best for: widespread inflammation, multiple injury sites, or situations where you need systemic tissue repair rather than targeted healing.

Wolverine Blend ($375/month) combines BPC-157 and TB-500 in a single formulation. You get the localized repair of BPC-157 and the systemic reach of TB-500. Best for: patients with significant injuries who want comprehensive coverage, or athletes who need both targeted and systemic recovery.

BPC-157 ($250/month) is the clear choice here. This peptide was originally isolated from a gastric protective protein, meaning it evolved specifically to protect and repair the gut lining. Research shows it accelerates healing of intestinal mucosal damage, reduces gut inflammation, and promotes restoration of gut barrier integrity. It can be administered subcutaneously (systemically) or in some protocols is taken orally for direct GI exposure.

If your gut issues coexist with other inflammatory conditions or food sensitivities, stacking BPC-157 with NAD+ ($60/shot) supports the cellular energy your gut lining needs to repair.

GHK-Cu ($175/month) is a copper-binding peptide that stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, tightens skin, reduces fine lines, and improves overall skin texture and tone. It works by activating genes involved in tissue remodeling and has additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Best for: patients focused primarily on skin quality, elasticity, and visible signs of aging.

Glow Stack ($400/month) is a comprehensive anti-aging formulation that combines multiple peptides targeting different aspects of skin health and aging. Best for: patients who want a full-spectrum approach to anti-aging rather than targeting a single pathway.

Athletes have multiple options depending on what they are trying to optimize.

Wolverine Blend ($375/month) is the top choice for athletes who train hard and accumulate microtrauma. The BPC-157 and TB-500 combination accelerates recovery between sessions and addresses chronic overuse injuries that limit training volume.

Sermorelin ($250/month) is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stimulates your pituitary gland to produce and release more growth hormone. Growth hormone drives body composition changes (more lean mass, less body fat), faster recovery, and deeper sleep. Unlike exogenous growth hormone, Sermorelin works through your body's own feedback loops. Best for: patients focused on body composition, sleep quality, and long-term performance optimization.

NAD+ ($60/shot) supports the mitochondrial energy systems that high-output training demands. It is not a peptide in the traditional sense, but it stacks with everything and addresses the cellular energy bottleneck that limits recovery.

PT-141 / Bremelanotide ($250/month) works through a fundamentally different mechanism than medications like Viagra or Cialis. Those drugs work on blood flow. PT-141 works on the brain, activating melanocortin receptors in the hypothalamus that regulate sexual arousal and desire. This makes it effective for both men and women, and particularly useful when the issue is low desire or arousal rather than a mechanical blood flow problem.

PT-141 is often used alongside testosterone replacement therapy for patients where optimized hormones have improved energy and body composition but desire has not fully returned.

Sermorelin ($250/month) administered before bed stimulates your body's natural growth hormone pulse during deep sleep. Growth hormone is released in pulses during slow-wave sleep, and Sermorelin amplifies this process. Patients consistently report deeper, more restorative sleep within the first 2-4 weeks. This is not a sedative. It works by enhancing a process your body already runs during sleep.
