Healing & Recovery Peptide Cheat Sheet — Research Notes
Key considerations and protocol notes for each peptide in this cheat sheet.
Healing
ahk
Skin
AHK-Cu (Alanine-Histidine-Lysine-Copper) is a copper peptide that promotes collagen synthesis, hair follicle stimulation, and skin remodeling. It is primarily used topically for anti-aging skin care and hair regrowth support, and is not typically administered via injection.
Healing
thymos
Longevity
Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500) is a naturally occurring peptide that promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin. It works by upregulating actin and promoting cell migration and angiogenesis, making it popular for injury recovery and wound healing.
Healing
bpc
Longevity
Blend of BPC-157 (5 mg) and TB-500 (5 mg) for accelerated tissue recovery. Can be used daily or 2×/week depending on injury severity.
Healing
ghk
Longevity
Skin and repair blend. Dose is based on GHK-Cu content in the specific blend formulation.

Frequently asked questions
What is a peptide protocol?
A peptide protocol is a structured research plan that specifies which peptides to study, the quantities and frequencies used in research settings, and the duration of the study period. Research protocols often combine multiple peptides that act on complementary biological pathways—such as tissue repair, cognitive function, or metabolic regulation—to investigate broader or synergistic effects. These protocols are intended for research purposes only and are not a guide for human consumption.
How is peptide dosage calculated from a vial for research?
In a research context, the concentration of a reconstituted peptide solution is calculated by dividing the total peptide content of the vial in micrograms by the volume of bacteriostatic water added in milliliters. For example, a 5mg (5,000 mcg) vial reconstituted with 2mL of BAC water yields a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL. This information is provided for reference and laboratory calculation purposes only — not as a guide for human use.
How much bacteriostatic water is typically used for peptide reconstitution in research?
Research protocols commonly reconstitute peptide vials with 2mL to 3mL of bacteriostatic water, though the appropriate volume depends on the target concentration needed for a given study. Adding 2mL to a 5mg vial yields a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL. This information is provided strictly for laboratory and research reference — not as instructions for human use.
How are peptides different from proteins?
Both are composed of amino acids, but peptides are significantly smaller than proteins. Due to their size, peptides can function as precise signaling molecules, binding to specific receptors and triggering targeted biological responses—such as stimulating growth hormone release, promoting tissue repair, or modulating immune activity. These mechanisms are the subject of ongoing scientific research.
