Quiet week
Weekly Research Update · September 14, 2026
INDUSTRY UPDATE
Sep 7–14 was quiet on primary sources. We found no new peer-reviewed study and no new U.S. trial posting for BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, MOTS-c, SS-31/elamipretide, Semax, Selank, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, tesamorelin, sermorelin, or AOD-9604.
What circulated was older work. UCLA Health posted a Sep 9–10 Q&A on six popular research peptides. It is not new data. It recaps a review first published Aug 11 in the American Journal of Sports Medicine (Tewari et al.) covering BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, and MK-677. Authors’ take: animal work mixed-to-promising; human evidence thin; not a substitute for standard orthopedic care. A press recap is not an efficacy claim. Research-use only. Lot-matched COAs remain the operational standard.
