The ranking, and the key it uses

Ordered by the best rung the compound holds anywhere in this goal; then by what that study measured; then by how many graded rows it holds here, as a tie-break only; then by name. There is no blended score — one number mixing the rung and what was measured would invent a third scale nothing was graded against. Every rung links to the rubric that assigned it.

    1. Wound healing

      human RCT Direct outcome Not approved for this condition

      Who was studied
      adults with stage II or III pressure ulcers, n=120 randomised and 112 completed, oral 10 g/day for 16 weeks

      A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study measured PUSH score, PSST score and wound area in pressure ulcers over 16 weeks; the high-specific-peptide collagen hydrolysate arm differed from placebo. The population is pressure ulcers in long-term care, not diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds or burns, and no trial in those populations is on file for this record.

      Who was studied
      adults with chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy, 13 men and 7 women, mean age 44 (SD 8), n=20, 6 months (3 months per phase, crossover)

      Double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial: 2.5 g specific collagen peptides twice daily alongside a bi-daily eccentric calf-strengthening and return-to-running programme. VISA-A improved 12.6 points on the peptide phase against 5.3 on placebo, above the 6.5-point minimal clinically important difference; contrast-enhanced ultrasound microvascularity fell similarly in both phases. The authors describe it as a pilot: n=20, no separate parallel control, and no other tendon or ligament injury has been tested this way.

      Who was studied
      adults aged 40-75 with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade I-III), pooled n=507 across 4 randomised placebo-controlled trials; oral hydrolysed collagen peptides 2-10 g daily for 90-180 days

      A meta-analysis of four randomised placebo-controlled trials pooled 100 mm visual analogue scale knee pain scores and reported a standardised mean difference of -0.58 (p = 0.004) favouring oral collagen peptides, graded moderate quality. The joint studied is the knee in osteoarthritis; no trial on file measured hip, hand, shoulder or inflammatory arthritis pain, and collagen peptides are a food ingredient with no regulatory approval for joint pain anywhere.

      adults with diabetic neuropathic plantar foot ulcers, multicentre, randomised, evaluator-blinded, vehicle-controlled; enrolment number not reported in the abstract

      Graded fresh after the merge of copper-tripeptide-1 and ghk-cu: of the combined citation set, the only source that measured wound closure in humans is Mulder 1994 in Wound Repair and Regeneration, which reported 98.5% median area closure of plantar ulcers under topical GHK-Cu gel against 60.8% for vehicle. The other merged citations are skin-ageing, alopecia and in vitro keratinocyte work and measure nothing about wound closure. A phase 2 split-wound trial of topical GHK-Cu gel in standardised punch-biopsy wounds in healthy adults (NCT07437586, n=60 estimated) is recruiting and has no results on file.

      Who was studied
      rats after unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, n=72 randomised across saline, 0.3 mg/mL and 3 mg/mL, followed to 12 weeks

      Rats, not humans. Weekly intra-articular GHK-Cu injections for 4 weeks from week 2 gave a smaller side-to-side difference in knee laxity at 6 weeks, and higher graft complex stiffness at 0.3 mg/mL, but the effect did not persist after treatment stopped. Route was intra-articular injection into a surgical knee, which is not the topical skin use GHK-Cu is otherwise studied for, and no human ligament or tendon study is on file.

      Lung histology and collagen deposition were measured in tissue and were reduced by the copper complex GHK-Cu. A separate mouse study in the same model used uncomplexed GHK, a different molecule, so the two should not be pooled. No human pulmonary fibrosis study of GHK-Cu is on file, and the topical human work on this compound measured skin appearance, not fibrosis.

      adults with a full-thickness pressure ulcer 5-70 cm2 present at least 1 month, n=72, topical, up to 84 days; a parallel trial enrolled n=72 with venous stasis ulcers

      Two completed randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 dose-response trials of topical thymosin beta-4 in chronic ulcers, one in pressure ulcers and one in venous stasis ulcers, each n=72. The registered primary outcome in both was safety and tolerability over 84 days rather than closure, and no results are posted on either registry entry. These are chronic ulcer populations; no trial in acute surgical wounds or burns is on file.

      animal in vivo Direct outcome Not approved for this condition

      Who was studied
      rats with sharply transected medial collateral ligament, 4 weeks; strain and n not reported in the abstract obtained

      Rats, not humans, and full-length thymosin beta-4 rather than the TB-500 fragment: 1 ug of Tb4 in 100 uL fibrin sealant placed in the ligament gap. Healing tissue showed larger collagen fibril diameters on electron microscopy and better biomechanical properties than control at 4 weeks. Thymosin beta-4 is named among growth factors on the WADA prohibited list, so a competing athlete reading this is looking at a banned substance; the human trials that exist are in venous stasis ulcers and ocular surface disease, not musculoskeletal injury.

    3. Fibrosis

      animal in vivo Direct outcome Not approved for this condition

      Who was studied
      female C57BL/6 mice, chronic ethanol feeding plus binge ethanol and LPS liver injury model; full-length 43-residue thymosin beta-4, 1 mg/kg intraperitoneally daily for 1 week; liver only

      Liver collagen was measured directly in tissue by Sirius Red staining and hydroxyproline content, both of which fell with treatment. The molecule given was full-length thymosin beta-4, not the 7-residue LKKTETQ fragment sold as TB-500, so this evidence does not transfer to that fragment. No human fibrosis trial of thymosin beta-4 in any organ is on file.

      Wound area and healing rate constants were measured directly; the two lower doses healed faster than placebo and the highest dose did not. A separate randomised double-blind trial in a distinct population, diabetic foot ulcers with mild infection (Arch Dermatol Res 2023), measured granulation index and reported faster healing but no change in IL-1alpha, TNF-alpha or aerobic bacterial counts; its enrolment number is not stated in the abstract.

      PANTHER-IPF measured change in forced vital capacity over 60 weeks and found none: -0.18 L on acetylcysteine versus -0.19 L on placebo (p=0.77), with no difference in mortality. The trial began with a third arm of prednisone, azathioprine and acetylcysteine, which the data and safety monitoring board stopped on 14 October 2011 at a planned interim analysis for increased death and hospitalisation versus placebo. No regulator has approved acetylcysteine for pulmonary fibrosis, and no liver, cardiac or skin fibrosis trial is on file.

      Both endpoints were read from paired liver biopsies and they are separate results: steatohepatitis resolution with no worsening of fibrosis 62.9% vs 34.3% placebo, and fibrosis improvement with no worsening of steatohepatitis 36.8% vs 22.4% placebo. The FDA granted accelerated approval in August 2025 for non-cirrhotic MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis (F2-F3); cirrhosis was not studied, and no trial of any other organ's fibrosis is on file.

      Who was studied
      adults with moderate knee joint discomfort and loss of function consistent with osteoarthritis, n=33, 1000 mg fish cartilage hydrolysate orally once daily for 3 months; open-label, no control group

      An exploratory, non-comparative, multi-centre open-label study measured the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and reported improvement in the pain and function subscales. With no placebo arm and no randomisation the improvement cannot be separated from natural course or expectation, and the authors state the result needs confirmation in a randomised controlled trial. The population is knee osteoarthritis only; no data on other joints is on file.

      Wound closure, re-epithelialisation, granulation tissue and collagen deposition were measured in rats, not humans; the same paper's proliferation, migration and angiogenesis findings are in vitro. No human study measuring wound closure with BPC-157 is on file: the only registered human study (NCT02637284) is a phase 1 safety and pharmacokinetics study in healthy volunteers with no wound endpoint.

      Who was studied
      male albino Wistar rats, 12 weeks old, 6 per group per timepoint, quadriceps myotendinous junction detachment, assessed to 42 days

      Rats, not humans. After surgical detachment of the quadriceps tendon from the muscle, BPC 157 (10 ug/kg or 10 ng/kg intraperitoneally, or in drinking water) improved walking and motor functional indices, joint angles, muscle extensibility on tensiometry and collagen fibre organisation against saline controls; the wider rat literature covers transected Achilles tendon and transected muscle with the same design. The only registered human study of BPC-157 is a phase 1 pharmacokinetic and safety trial in healthy volunteers (NCT02637284, status unknown since 2016) with no injury endpoint, so no human healing-time, imaging or return-to-activity result exists on file.

      Closure dynamics, histology and histomorphometry were measured directly. Topical GHRP-6 attenuated inflammatory mediators and reduced expression of fibrogenic cytokines, and in the rabbit ear model reduced the appearance of exuberant scars. The same paper reports a clear limit: GHRP-6 showed no effect on reversion of consolidated lesions, so the record supports prevention during healing and not treatment of an established scar.

      Lameness duration was measured as well as cartilage histology. The lameness period was shortest in the combined AOD9604 and hyaluronic acid group and longest in the saline group; AOD9604 alone did not beat hyaluronic acid alone on either the histological score or the lameness period. The route is intra-articular injection into a rabbit knee, which is not how the compound is sold or used, and there is no human study of it against joint pain.

    CNP signals through the natriuretic peptide receptor B on growth-plate chondrocytes, and the CNP analogue vosoritide is licensed for bone growth in achondroplasia. Achondroplasia is not a condition in this corpus, and vosoritide is a separate compound from CNP itself. No study of CNP against joint pain exists.

What this page does not say

It reports what was measured, in whom, and how directly. It does not say what to take or at what dose, and a position here is a record of study depth rather than a reason to use anything. A compound at the top of this list is the most studied against these conditions; that is not the same claim as the most effective, and nothing on this page makes the second one.
