SPORT · RUGBY
Rugby conditioning staff in South Africa work inside the strictest anti-doping environment in the country, and they read the peptide literature for exactly that reason: to know what players are hearing about, what the science actually shows, and where the lines are. Franchise, provincial and school programmes all face the same questions.
This page is the literature briefing. It covers collision-recovery and soft-tissue repair models, the neuro-repair research that touches on head impact, and the GH-axis work, with the anti-doping status stated plainly throughout. The compounds are supplied for laboratory research only. Nothing on this page is for a player to take, and most of it is prohibited in competition.
Soft-tissue repair is the obvious literature: rodent models of muscle crush, ligament transection and tendon rupture, scored for regeneration speed, collagen alignment and tensile strength. BPC-157 and the thymosin β4 fragment are the recurring compounds, with consistent animal data and negligible human data. The repair models map onto the injuries rugby produces, which is why the research is read even though it cannot be applied.
Neuro-repair is the second, more sensitive literature. Thymosin β4 improved functional outcome after experimental brain injury in rodents; Cerebrolysin has randomised trials in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation; Semax has clinical cohorts in stroke recovery and neurotrophin induction. This is research into brain-injury biology, read by people whose sport produces head impacts. It is not, and must not be read as, a concussion intervention.
Research context only — what each compound has been studied for in published work, not what it does for anyone. Independently tested by Janoshik Analytical.
The soft-tissue repair compound of the rodent literature: muscle, ligament, tendon and bone models with mechanical and histological endpoints. Players ask about it; the human data are negligible; it is on the Prohibited List.
View product and certificate →Thymosin β4 fragment. Beyond muscle regeneration, the parent protein improved functional outcome and neurite remodelling after experimental stroke and brain injury in rodents, which puts it in the neuro-repair literature too.
View product and certificate →A neurotrophic peptide mixture with randomised trials in traumatic brain injury and stroke rehabilitation. The most clinically studied compound in the brain-injury literature a rugby reader will meet.
View product and certificate →An ACTH(4-10) analogue, a registered medicine in Russia with clinical cohorts in stroke recovery and rapid BDNF induction. Enters rugby reading through the neuro-rehabilitation strand.
View product and certificate →Semax, Selank, Pinealon and Cerebrolysin as a neuro-research set, each compound's literature laid out on the stack page.

No. BPC-157, GH-axis compounds and growth factors are prohibited, and we supply for laboratory research only. Nothing here is for a player.
There is brain-injury research: thymosin β4 in rodent TBI models, Cerebrolysin in human TBI rehabilitation trials. It is biology research, not a concussion protocol, and we describe it as such.
Because conditioning staff are asked and deserve the primary literature with its anti-doping status attached, rather than forum summaries.
Compound identity and HPLC purity on an independent Janoshik Analytical report. Nothing more.
