A systematic review and an orthopaedic narrative review, both published this month, reach the same finding: decades of animal work, and almost no controlled human data.
New studies, trials and regulatory developments, summarised and sourced.
What published work says about compounds studied together, and what it has not tested.
How peptides work, how they are made and tested, and how to read the research.
Reported adverse findings, contamination risks and open questions.
Reference
19 compounds, each with what it is, the research areas that study it, and every article we have published about it.
