A mechanism-based review of research peptides most relevant to women's health — covering skin collagen, body composition, bone density, hormonal balance, cognitive function, and hair health.
Skin & Collagen
Topical GHK-Cu (1–3%) reduced periorbital fine lines and increased skin density in double-blind RCTs. Oral collagen peptides (2.5–10 g/day) improved skin elasticity and hydration in women aged 35–65.
Body Composition & Fat Loss
Women in the SURMOUNT-1 trial (Tirzepatide, NEJM 2022) achieved 22.5% mean body weight reduction. Semaglutide STEP-1 showed 14.9% mean reduction in women with obesity.
Bone Density & Recovery
BPC-157 accelerated bone healing and tendon repair in multiple rodent models. TB-500 promoted stem cell mobilization and reduced inflammation in injury models — relevant to post-menopausal bone health research.
