What is Teriparatide?
An anabolic peptide fragment of parathyroid hormone used clinically to stimulate osteoblast activity and new bone formation. It has also been studied for accelerating fracture healing and supporting bone repair in difficult union cases.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
stimulates bone formation
supports fracture union
improves bone mineral density
may aid bone remodeling
Research Summary
Teriparatide has extensive clinical literature showing anabolic effects on bone and investigational use in delayed unions and nonunions. It is one of the best-studied peptide-based options for skeletal recovery.

EGF
Human Epidermal Growth Factor
EGF is a small endogenous growth factor that drives epithelial cell migration and proliferation during tissue repair. It has been studied for burns, ulcers, and mucosal healing because it can accelerate re-epithelialization.

Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 2
FGF2 is a potent mitogen involved in angiogenesis, fibroblast expansion, and granulation tissue formation. It is widely studied in skin repair, ischemic tissue recovery, and chronic wound models.

Recombinant Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB
rhPDGF-BB is a dimeric growth factor that recruits fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells into the wound bed. It has a well-known role in chronic wound care, especially diabetic foot ulcers, where it supports granulation and closure.

Recombinant Human Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF, FGF7)
Palifermin is a truncated recombinant form of keratinocyte growth factor that protects and expands epithelial tissues. It is most recognized for mucosal protection, but the same biology is relevant to epithelial recovery and healing.
