Peptide Therapy Foundations: Recovery & Gut Stabilization
A clinical survey of the peptides studied for tissue repair, recovery, and gut barrier integrity.
Course Overview
What this course covers
This course examines the peptides used in the service of repair and recovery: the agents studied for tissue healing, inflammation control, and the integrity of the gut barrier. It is written for clinicians who want a grounded understanding of how each agent is thought to act, what the evidence supports, and where the data are still thin.
The lessons span repair and recovery peptides such as BPC-157, Thymosin Beta-4, MGF, IGF-1 LR3, GHK-Cu, and AOD-9604, alongside agents centered on the gut and immune interface, including KPV, LL-37, VIP, ARA-290, the GLP-2 receptor agonists, and Larazotide. Their mechanisms range from angiogenesis and cytoprotection to tight-junction regulation and immune modulation, and the maturity of the evidence varies considerably across the group.
Each lesson follows the same clinical lens: what the agent is, how it works, what the evidence shows, and what a practitioner weighs before applying it. Together they map the recovery and gut-stabilizing peptides as a group so you can reason about any single agent against the others and against the limits of the data.
What you'll explore
- Distinguish tissue-repair peptides from gut-barrier and immune-interface agents
- Describe the proposed mechanisms behind the major recovery peptides
- Explain how gut-targeted peptides influence barrier integrity and inflammation
- Apply a consistent clinical framework when evaluating a recovery or gut peptide
