What Are Recovery Peptides?

Peptides, Performance

Your body’s natural healing processes are boosted by these peptides, which act as precise messengers. They are designed to target the removal of harmful gut bacterial overgrowth, lower inflammation, boost immunity, and hasten the healing process following injuries.

How Do Recovery Peptides Work?

Recovery peptides work by targeting and enhancing the body’s core regenerative processes: 

  • Stimulating Growth Factors.
  • Enhancing Blood Flow.
  • Reducing Inflammation.
  • Boosting Collagen Synthesis.

BCP-157

The synthetic peptide BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) has been investigated for possible medicinal uses. Human stomach juice naturally contains this 15-amino acid sequence.

GHK-CU

Collagen and tissue regeneration are both stimulated by this copper peptide, which is frequently utilized in both the cosmetic and medical fields for the purpose of promoting wound healing and improving skin suppleness.

Ipamorelin (GHRP)

A growth hormone-releasing peptide that increases the amount of natural growth hormone (GH) secreted by the pituitary gland. It functions as a GH secretagogue, simulating the effects of the naturally occurring peptide ghrelin. Sometimes used in therapies to help improve metabolism, muscle growth, recovery, and other functions.

CJC-1295 (GHRH)

Known as a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, CJC-1295 is a synthetic peptide that is intended to encourage your pituitary gland to naturally produce more growth hormone (GH). CJC-1295 has a longer half-life than many other peptides in its class, which enables continuous GH elevation without the need for numerous injections.

What's a GHRH?

​A GHRH is a Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone. It triggers the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to release more growth hormone from the brain to the liver.

What's a GHRP?

​A GHRP is a Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides. A GHRP triggers the liver to release growth hormone into the bloodstream.

What's the difference?

Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) and Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides (GHRPs) both stimulate the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH), but they do so through different pathways and receptors. GHRH is a natural hormone, while GHRPs are synthetic compounds that mimic the effects of the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin. Consider growth hormone as the fuel that powers a race car to help clarify the difference. A GHRP functions as a competent pilot activating a turbocharger to increase the vehicle’s performance as necessary, while a GHRH serves as a pit crew member replenishing the vehicle with more fuel. Because GHRPs “empty the tank” and GHRHs “fill the tank,” they are very complementary and can be used in tandem to get better outcomes.
