The under-the-radar injections people are taking to build muscle this summer — including the 'Wolverine' shot
Peptide injections are soaring in popularity for fitness and longevity. They're marketed as a "natural" supplement for muscle-building, fat loss, recovery, and more. The FDA has been cracking down on peptide sellers, and experts say some caution is warranted. People who want to feel younger, look fitter, or perhaps slough off a little layer of belly fat have been turning to an increasingly popular kind of treatment — one you can get without a prescription. They've got obscure names like BPC-157, tesamorelin, and cerebrolysin. All it takes is a tiny needle and a little clear vial filled with injectable molecules. Welcome to the world of peptides. "Absolutely everybody's asking for it, the field is popping," Dr. Florence Comite, a longevity doctor who serves concierge medicine clients in New York City, told Business Insider. The peptide landscape is so large that it almost defies definition. The prescription drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro, often used for weight loss, are peptides. So is insulin. There are peptides in skin creams, hair products, and high-end serums marketed to women to reduce fine lines and stimulate collagen. The wildly popular fitness supplement creatine? Also a peptide. Then, there are the gym bro shots, said to boost muscle, burn fat, stimulate testosterone, and aid recovery. Demand for peptide injections — something that biohackers and longevity-seekers have already been quietly using in the shadows for decades — is booming. Patients in pockets of the country saturated with peptides, like Beverly Hills, San Diego, Silicon Valley, and Manhattan are increasingly asking their doctors: "should I try peptides?" Many physicians aren't sure what to say because there isn't a ton of great evidence around about how much peptides can really do. Plus, the FDA has been cracking down on peptide compounders in recent years. They worry that the hype is outpacing good evidence. How peptides boost your body Unlike most pills that doctors prescribe, peptides live in a more slippery area, between drug and bodily substance. A peptide is a chain of organic compounds — specifically, amino acids — that stimulate natural processes. Depending on which amino acids a peptide is made of, and how it is used, the molecule can have all kinds of impacts on how our hormones operate. Peptides can improve fertility in both men and women, tamp down inflammation, remove dangerous visceral belly fat, or help build muscle. Others are thought to help improve sleep quality, even possibly improve brain health. "What's great about peptides is that they mimic the body," said Comite, who has been working with peptides since she was a research fellow at the National Institutes of Health over 30 years ago. Since most peptides are too fragile to be formulated as pills, they are often packaged as a clear liquid in a little vial. Users learn to inject their peptides using a very fine, short needle, right at home. The popularity of peptides has soared on their reputation as ostensibly "natural" products. The idea being that, unlike other drugs or steroids, peptides are a safer choice because they're just stimulating your body to do its own thing. Taking growth hormones, for example, comes with a suite of undesirable potential side effects, like an increased risk of cancer and type 2 diabetes. What if you could just take a peptide that would stimulate your own growth hormone to make you stronger, leaner, and more energetic? "The theory is that even if you use a growth hormone stimulating peptide, your body's only going to be able to make so much growth hormone," Dr. Sajad Zalzala, a longevity physician and one of the cofounders of AgelessRx, said. "Kind of like a check valve already in place. Again, that's the theory." The peptides gym bros take to get chiseled muscles One darling peptide of gym bros and longevity fiends alike is a substance called BPC-157. It's known as the "Wolverine" shot for its perceived ability to heal you up and regenerate your body real fast like the Marvel character, Logan, after a big fight. B-P-C stands for "body protection compound." BPC-157 was first derived from stomach juices. It's being investigated to treat inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. But the reason that athletes like it is because it's thought to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow — and perhaps do even more. There are a few other super popular peptides: Tesamorelin, an injectable peptide, is prescribed to HIV patients to reduce excess belly fat. Sermorelin is supposed to help with sleep and recovery. CJC-1295 binds to growth hormone receptors in the body, and people often take it alongside impamorelin, which stimulates the hypothalamus. The two in tandem are said to deliver better muscle gains. On Reddit and YouTube people share how they "stack" different peptides like this, taking multiple different kinds with the goal of boosting the effects of each. Peptide fans get their shots at clinics and med spas — or, for less money, online. Increasingly, people are ordering peptides that are labeled "for research only," meaning they are supposed to be used by lab workers for experimentation, and were never meant to be put into human bodies. That's partly because the FDA crackdown on peptides has intensified in recent years, just as pharmaceutical compounding (a sort of acceptable way to get knock off medications) has surged in popularity, with people seeking cheaper versions of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro. At the beginning of 2022, the FDA had a list of four peptides that they said "may present significant safety risks" and should not be compounded. By the end of 2023, there were 26. Comite thinks the FDA crackdown is a shame. She is finding it harder and harder to source compounded liquid BPC-157. She often uses a patch form of BPC-157 on herself, placing it over sore areas or injuries. Recently, she tore a calf muscle, so she's been using it there, but she also just likes how taking a little bit of it keeps her active and moving. "I use it almost every day," she said. "It's amazing for joints and everything — at a very tiny dose." Zalzala, who doesn't usually prescribe peptides, ordered some topical BPC-157 recently when his wife had a knee injury. "My wife says it works," he said, though he cautioned that it's hard to really know if that's true without more proper research. Bracken Darrell, the CEO of VF Corporation and one of Comite's patients, is also a BPC-157 convert. A self-proclaimed "basketball nut," he's on the court about three days a week. On the days when he doesn't pick up a ball, he's out cross-training on a bike or lifting weights. So when he tore his meniscus about four months ago, he was worried. Under Comite's supervision, he started taking liquid BPC-157 about three to four times a week. He told BI it was "weird" at first, learning to inject the needle into an area of skin near his knee. But, pretty soon, it was just part of his routine. "I believe it helped a lot, but it's hard to know for sure," he said. "There are people with a severely torn meniscus who don't ever play basketball again, and I'm back — I certainly wouldn't conclude that's because I'm taking BPC-157, but at a minimum it didn't hurt. And it sure seems like it helps." Proceed with caution, doctors say Even longevity doctors who prescribe and use peptides regularly agree that some folks are overdoing it, and that could be dangerous. "Proceed with caution, because you have to know the source and you have to know it's active," Comite said. "It's not like Lowe's or Home Depot where you can get stuff and you can fix the plumbing." In reality, the evidence for peptides is still murky. There are no big, randomized clinical trials like what we have for prescription drugs or vaccines. The current hype is based on anecdotal evidence, a few small human studies from decades ago, and rodent studies. "People wanna take the peptides because they're not from big pharma, they're not mainstream medicine, they gotta be better than those cockamamie doctors," Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and longevity expert, said recently on the Dax Shepard podcast. "Where's the data?" For people who are using peptides, experts shared two pieces of advice: Comite urges patients to start slow. A common mistake people who are dosing themselves make is thinking that "if a little bit is good, then a lot must be better," she said. That's not the case. "Taking mega doses of tesmorelin along with testosterone causes your organs to overgrow," Comite said. Sometimes she'll see a toned gymgoer with a potbelly, and wonder whether that's due to an enlarged liver or spleen. Darrell recommends testing your peptides with an independent lab so you know what you're getting is both real and uncontaminated. Zalzala says his company started thinking about offering peptides a few years back, due to consumer demand, but they haven't yet. There are just so many peptides out there, and it's hard to tell which might be the very best. Some of the most research-backed ways to have an impact on your longevity and fitness are still the simplest anyway: eat decent amounts of fiber and protein regularly, work out — at least a couple sessions with weights each week, and cut back (or ideally, eliminate) liquid sugar in your diet like juice and soda.

Joe Rogan among the fans of revolutionary anti-aging peptide
Highway to heal? An experimental peptide is in the spotlight for its potential to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation and protect gut health. Count podcast host Joe Rogan, 57, among the fans of BPC-157 — he reported that it cleared up his elbow tendonitis in just two weeks. Biohackers hope its regenerative and anti-inflammatory powers lead to longer, healthier lives. 5 Podcast host Joe Rogan said BPC-157 cleared up his elbow tendonitis in just two weeks. Youtube / The Joe Rogan Experience 'The people who have tried it say it is life-changing,' Dr. Michael Aziz, an internist in New York and author of 'The Ageless Revolution,' told The Post. 'So is BPC-157 going to revolutionize physical therapy?' he mused. 'We hope the research comes soon.' Here's a look at the science behind the emerging therapy. What is BPC-157? BPC-157 is the short name for Body Protection Compound 157. It's comprised of 15 amino acids and derived from a naturally occurring protein in human stomach juice. Dr. Christian Muller, a sports medicine physician with Northwell Health Orthopedics in Westchester, said BPC-157 was discovered in the early '90s during research into substances that could protect the body from harm. 5 BPC-157 is in the spotlight for its potential to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation and protect gut health. Amazon How it exactly works in the body is not fully understood. 'Research suggests BPC-157 may work by enhancing the formation of new blood vessels, which improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to injured tissues, accelerating healing,' Aziz said. 'It also influences the expression of various growth factors, such as growth hormone receptors, which are crucial for tissue repair and regeneration,' he added. Inside the potential benefits The Food and Drug Administration has not approved BPC-157, as much of the research has been conducted in animals. 'There are few, extremely limited studies on humans,' Muller told The Post. 'One study showed that knee injections with BPC-157 helped with arthritis pain in 11 out of 12 subjects, but the study did not use verified survey tools to obtain reliable answers regarding efficacy.' 5 BPC-157 may be able to help with recovery after a knee injury. Dragana Gordic – BPC-157 is being explored for: Tissue repair Healing of muscle, tendon, ligament and skin wounds Collagen production Neuroinflammation Nerve regeneration Arthritis Gastric ulcers Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) Leaky gut syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome 'Had a recent knee surgery? Had an injury at the gym and your doctor suggested physical therapy for six months? Not so fast. BPC-157 can help,' Aziz said. How much should you take? Dr. Pooja Gidwani, a double board-certified internal and obesity medicine physician based in L.A., noted that there are no standard doses because human data is limited. She suggested that oral forms of BPC-157 may be helpful for gut issues, while injections are typically preferred for systemic healing, such as joint or tendon recovery. She has 'nuanced conversations' with patients eager to try it. 5 How BPC-157 exactly works in the body is not fully understood. Research suggests that it may accelerate healing by enhancing the formation of new blood vessels. Sanhanat – 'We begin with an open, informed discussion about the current evidence — what's promising and what's unknown,' Gidwani told The Post. 'For some patients dealing with chronic gut issues, tendon injuries or post-operative healing challenges,' she continued, 'we discuss where the science currently stands and make a collaborative decision based on goals, risk tolerance and alternatives.' Some researchers recommend cycling it to prevent side effects. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology, suggests limiting BPC-157 usage to eight weeks and taking an eight-week break — or more. 'My concern about taking BPC157 continuously: it promotes vascular growth, and if you have a small tumor, it will vascularize that tumor as well. Not good,' Huberman tweeted in April. And beware if you purchase capsules online. 'Many times it is fake or not safe,' Aziz advised. Behind the possible downsides 'There are potential safety concerns, but given the lack of human data, they are not truly known,' Muller said. 'Since BPC-157 has been shown to be biologically active in several complex body processes,' he added, 'there can be a multitude of unknown potential dangers across several organ systems.' 5 New blood vessel growth may help promote healing, but it could also fuel tumors. phonlamaiphoto – Since it can cause uncontrolled growth of new blood vessels, people with a history of cancer or concerns about tumors should approach BPC-157 with caution. Because it has been shown to interact with growth hormone pathways, Aziz warned of potential hormonal disruption with extended use. It's also on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list for professional athletes because of its unproven claims and possible health risks. Scientists hope to learn more about it soon. 'Peptides like BPC-157 are part of an exciting frontier in longevity and regenerative medicine — but they're still evolving,' Gidwani said. 'It's not about hype — it's about understanding the potential while also respecting the limitations of what we know.'

BPC-157 and TB-500 Blend: A synergistic approach to advancing research
By MUHAMMAD ZAFAR THE combination of BPC-157 and TB-500 has emerged as a fascinating area of exploration within peptide research. These two peptides, each with unique structural and functional characteristics, are theorised to complement one another in ways that may support their utility in various scientific domains. Researchers are uncovering new insights into the complex interplay between peptide signalling and biological systems by investigating their potential impacts on cellular processes, tissue dynamics, and regenerative mechanisms. BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from an endogenously occurring protein found in gastric juice. It has been hypothesised that BPC-157 might interact with signalling pathways involved in angiogenesis, tissue repair, and cellular homeostasis. Studies suggest that the peptide may impact the stability and functionality of extracellular matrix components, potentially supporting cellular adhesion and proliferation. TB-500, a synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4, is composed of 43 amino acids and is believed to play a role in cytoskeletal organisation and cellular migration. It has been theorised that TB-500 might interact with actin-binding proteins, promoting cellular motility and resilience. By modulating intracellular communication and adaptive responses, TB-500 appears to contribute to optimising cellular environments. When studied in combination, BPC-157 and TB-500 are believed to exhibit complementary properties. Investigations purport that BPC-157's angiogenic potential might align with TB-500's role in cellular migration, suggesting a synergistic interplay that may optimise tissue dynamics and regenerative responses. The BPC-157 and TB-500 blend has been hypothesised to impact numerous biological processes, making it a subject of interest for tissue repair and regeneration research. Studies suggest that BPC-157 may support the formation of new blood vessels, while TB-500 might support cellular migration to injury sites. Together, these peptides seem to contribute to studying the mechanisms underlying tissue remodeling and repair. The blend has been associated with better-supported cellular adhesion, proliferation, and extracellular matrix organisation in research models. These findings suggest that the combination might be valuable for exploring strategies to support tissue regeneration following trauma or experimental manipulation. Angiogenesis, the process of forming new blood vessels, is a critical component of tissue repair and regeneration. BPC-157 has been investigated for its potential role in promoting angiogenesis by modulating growth factors and signaling pathways. TB-500, with its hypothesised impact on cellular migration, may complement BPC-157's angiogenic properties by facilitating the recruitment of endothelial cells to sites of vascular remodeling. The synergistic potential of BPC-157 and TB-500 in angiogenesis has made the blend a subject of interest in vascular research. Investigations purport that the combination might support the study of mechanisms underlying vascular integrity and function, offering insights into conditions characterised by impaired blood flow or vascular damage. Scientific inquiry has also focused on the potential role of BPC-157 and TB-500 in musculoskeletal research. It has been hypothesised that the peptide blend might promote the repair and regeneration of connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments. Research indicates that BPC-157 may impact collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix dynamics, while TB-500 might support cellular migration and differentiation. The blend has been associated with better-supported tissue architecture and functional recovery following musculoskeletal injuries in experimental models. These findings underscore its potential utility in research focused on comprehending the molecular mechanisms of tissue repair and developing strategies to support musculoskeletal integrity. Beyond their speculated implications, BPC-157 and TB-500 are being explored in emerging research domains. For example, the blend's potential role in immune modulation is an area of growing interest. It has been hypothesised that the combination might impact the function of immune cells and the regulation of inflammatory responses, which may have implications for understanding autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation. Another intriguing area of investigation involves the potential impact of BPC-157 and TB-500 on neurological science. Research indicates that the peptides might interact with signaling pathways associated with neuronal resilience and plasticity, opening up new possibilities for studying neurodegenerative disorders and cognitive function. While the research on BPC-157 and TB-500 is promising, several challenges remain. One of the primary challenges is elucidating the precise mechanisms through which the peptides exert their impacts. Further investigations are needed to identify the molecular pathways involved and to determine how these pathways might be leveraged for scientific and research purposes. Another area of interest is the development of peptide analogs with better-supported stability and specificity. These analogs may provide researchers with more helpful tools for studying the properties of BPC-157 and TB-500 and exploring their potential implications in various domains. The combination of BPC-157 and TB-500 represents a fascinating area of peptide research with diverse properties and potential implications. The blend offers a unique perspective on the complex interplay between peptide signaling and biological systems, from their potential role in tissue regeneration and angiogenesis to their implications for musculoskeletal and neurological research. As investigations continue to uncover their multifaceted impacts, BPC-157 and TB-500 hold promise as valuable tools for advancing our understanding of biology and addressing critical scientific challenges.
