Peptide Deep Dive

Shoulder replacement surgery presents different healing challenges than rotator cuff repair, particularly when it comes to incision and wound healing. In this article, Dr. Myeroff explains why GHK-Cu, a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide, has become part of his perioperative optimization protocol for shoulder arthroplasty.

Why are CJC-1295 and ipamorelin so often prescribed together? In this article, Dr. Myeroff explains how these two peptides work through complementary pathways to naturally enhance growth hormone release and why that synergy may support shoulder surgery recovery.

Is ipamorelin a safer alternative to synthetic growth hormone for shoulder surgery recovery? In this article, Dr. Myeroff explains why ipamorelin is often his preferred starting point for patients interested in peptide therapy.

How long should you use BPC-157 after rotator cuff surgery? While many online protocols recommend anywhere from 8 weeks to 6 months, this article explains why the biology of tendon healing points to a different answer.

BPC-157 has become one of the most talked-about peptides in orthopedic recovery—but does the science support the claims? You'll learn why the lack of human clinical trials and recent FDA regulatory changes are important considerations for anyone exploring peptide therapy before or after shoulder surgery. If you're looking for a balanced perspective grounded in orthopedic science—not internet hype—this article is a great place to start.
