Peptides and exercise physiology
Research on exercise focuses on mitochondrial function, endurance, and tissue repair. MOTS-c and AICAR are being studied for AMPK activation, while BPC-157 and TB-500 are being studied for connective tissue.
Compared to classic training supplements
Creatine and caffeine have decades of human studies behind them. The peptides in the list have mainly been studied in cell and animal models, which is important to consider.
The list
The list is editorial and is based on how often the substances appear in research – not on proven efficacy or safety in humans.
The difference between potential and evidence
Always review safety, study size, control groups, and whether the results have been replicated. Be especially wary of claims that promise quick or guaranteed effects.
