Tissue-repair / gut-healing marketing BPC-157
The useful reader move is to ask whether a clinician is discussing an approved therapy, an investigational protocol, or a research-use product. Do not treat protocol charts as dosing instructions.
Peptide reference tool · Education only
A safer peptide comparison table for the viral “dosing cheat sheet” era.
The TikTok version centered dose ranges. This Glow Diary resource rewrites the idea as a standalone comparison tool: what each peptide is usually claimed to do, how strong the evidence looks, and which questions belong with a licensed clinician.
Not a protocol. This page intentionally does not provide dose ranges, syringe units, mixing instructions, vendor guidance, or personalized recommendations. Use it to prepare better questions, not to self-administer peptides.
How this fits the site
From social chart to research-first resource.
The original infographic grouped BPC-157, KPV, MOTS-c, GHK-Cu, NAD+, and SS-31 around claimed benefits and dosing. The Glow Diary version fits into the peptide hub, doctor-question checklist, and evidence library by changing the job: compare claims, label evidence maturity, and route risky decisions back to clinical care.
Use this page to - Separate “what people claim” from “what is proven.”
- Spot research-use or investigational language.
- Build clinician questions before buying, injecting, stacking, or copying a protocol.

Comparison table
Claims · evidence · questions
| Peptide | Common online claim | Evidence status | Glow Diary interpretation | Questions to ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 Body Protection Compound 157 Tissue-repair / gut-healing marketing | Often framed online for gut irritation, digestion, inflammation, and soft-tissue recovery. | Research peptide / limited human outcome evidence | The useful reader move is to ask whether a clinician is discussing an approved therapy, an investigational protocol, or a research-use product. Do not treat protocol charts as dosing instructions. |
|
| KPV Lysine–proline–valine Inflammation / gut-barrier marketing | Typically promoted for calming gut irritation, bloating, immune balance, and inflammation. | Mechanism-heavy / consumer evidence remains thin | KPV belongs in the inflammation-and-gut-hype bucket until a specific product, indication, route, and human evidence base are named. |
|
| MOTS-c Mitochondrial-derived peptide Energy / metabolism / exercise-mimetic marketing | Often described as supporting energy, metabolism, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and endurance. | Interesting mitochondrial biology / limited consumer-ready clinical proof | MOTS-c is worth watching, but mechanism language should not become a promise that an injection substitutes for exercise, nutrition, or clinician-managed metabolic care. |
|
| GHK-Cu Copper peptide Skin / hair / tissue-remodeling marketing | Usually marketed for skin repair, collagen support, hair support, wrinkles, and appearance-focused aging claims. | Plausible skin biology / broad longevity claims need caution | GHK-Cu has a more credible skin-biology story than most broad anti-aging claims, but gene-expression or collagen language is not the same as proven injectable longevity outcomes. |
|
| NAD+ Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide Cellular energy / longevity-clinic marketing | Commonly promoted for cellular energy, DNA repair, brain function, metabolism, and longevity support. | Biology is real / clinic-protocol claims vary widely | NAD+ is a molecule involved in cellular metabolism, but that does not validate every IV, injection, supplement, or anti-aging package sold around it. |
|
| SS-31 Mitochondrial-targeted peptide also known as elamipretide in research contexts Mitochondrial support / oxidative-stress marketing | Often framed for energy, mitochondrial support, oxidative-stress reduction, and cellular health. | Investigational context matters / not a generic wellness shortcut | SS-31 should be handled as a specific investigational or clinical-research topic, not as a copy-paste anti-aging protocol from a chart. |

Tissue-repair / gut-healing marketing 
Inflammation / gut-barrier marketing KPV
KPV belongs in the inflammation-and-gut-hype bucket until a specific product, indication, route, and human evidence base are named.
Energy / metabolism / exercise-mimetic marketing MOTS-c
MOTS-c is worth watching, but mechanism language should not become a promise that an injection substitutes for exercise, nutrition, or clinician-managed metabolic care.
Skin / hair / tissue-remodeling marketing GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu has a more credible skin-biology story than most broad anti-aging claims, but gene-expression or collagen language is not the same as proven injectable longevity outcomes.
Cellular energy / longevity-clinic marketing NAD+
NAD+ is a molecule involved in cellular metabolism, but that does not validate every IV, injection, supplement, or anti-aging package sold around it.
Mitochondrial support / oxidative-stress marketing SS-31
SS-31 should be handled as a specific investigational or clinical-research topic, not as a copy-paste anti-aging protocol from a chart.
Prompted by a TikTok photo post from @beautybyerikany labeled “Peptide dosing cheat sheet.” The table above is a rewritten editorial resource, not a copy of the dosing chart.
For any peptide on this page, check PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA labels, and the exact product source before treating a mechanism claim as human evidence.
