As a stable, high-purity research peptide, it is studied for tissue regeneration, connective tissue and cartilage repair, mucosal and gastrointestinal tract models, nerve damage, and its bioactive effects on growth factor signalling and collagen
For clinicians, the nuances of the Phase 3 data matter
Extra caution is appropriate in patients with active cancer, recent cancer, unexplained masses, unexplained weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, known allergy to peptide products, active infection, immune compromise, significant liver or kidney disease, active inflammatory or autoimmune disease flares, unusual clotting history, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, use of chemotherapy or immune-modifying biologic therapy, and competitive athletes subject to anti-doping rules
