Amino acids are peptides and have been safely used for decades. Optimum Nutrition has a good line of them. I'd also suggest whey for after workout and casein for before bed. Protein baby, that's the name of the game. My only point tho is that you are way overthinking the science. Dose w/ amino acid blend and protein every day = heal faster. Good for those peptides if they're better. In my experience they helped me recover after tearing my abductor muscle. Get your metabolism up, you heal faster. Start slow then gain momentum.
Agreed, I consume lots of protein but tore my rotator cuff and it is just not healing and I am in pain. More than my normal every day pain. I need to fix it. Preferably without surgery.
You should try massage therapy. Get those muscle fibers relaxed so they can heal properly. My massage therapist is worth her weight in gold to me. I was looking at surgery, but decided to take the natural path to recovery. Was a good choice.
I don't think you can massage a torn rotator cuff back into health!
