What the studies say so far

When people talk about peptides for shoulders, they usually point to the same animal studies of BPC-157 and TB-500 used for tendon injuries in general. Gym communities often pair the two, but that comes from habit and word of mouth. This collection has no solid controlled trial of any peptide for rotator cuff injuries in people.
