Sports and health science supports well-established recovery levers: adequate sleep, progressive training load, protein and carbohydrate nutrition, hydration and supervised rehabilitation. WHO and the American College of Sports Medicine quantify these.
Several peptide substances promoted for recovery — growth hormone secretagogues, certain tissue-healing peptides — are on the WADA Prohibited List and banned in-competition. Some are also unlicensed medicines. Self-prescribing these carries doping risk, anti-doping sanction and genuine health uncertainty.
A better path is to optimise the fundamentals and use legitimate medical care where indicated. For injured athletes, that means a clinician-led plan; for healthy athletes, consistency beats shortcuts. At BioBlend we support evidence-based recovery and will not supply peptides for performance enhancement.
