Published research on PeptiStrong includes a randomised double-blind study reporting 144% greater strength recovery vs placebo at 72 hours. Take one scoop daily, mixed into water, juice, or a protein shake. Available at Xplosiv New Zealand, with nationwide delivery.
Recovery Peptide 144
Two clinically studied branded ingredients — PeptiStrong and myHMB — with published research exploring their roles in supporting muscle protein synthesis and helping reduce exercise-induced breakdown. One daily serve, unflavoured.
Designed for Athletes Who Train Hard and Train Often
If you train hard and frequently, recovery between sessions matters. Recovery Peptide 144 is formulated to support the recovery process — so you may be better prepared when the next session comes around, rather than still working through the last one.
- High-frequency training and back-to-back sessions
- Strength athletes managing heavy eccentric loads
- Anyone looking to support their post-training recovery process
- Athletes who want to support consistent performance across a training week
Two Ingredients. Two Studied Pathways.
Recovery research points to two distinct processes: supporting muscle protein synthesis and limiting exercise-related protein breakdown. Recovery Peptide 144 combines two clinically studied branded ingredients that have been explored in each area.
PeptiStrong — 2.4g
Bioactive peptides from fava bean protein, identified by Nuritas using AI-driven peptide discovery and validated in human clinical trials. Research has shown associations with muscle protein synthesis pathway activation, reduced markers of exercise-induced muscle damage, and suppressed plasma myostatin levels.12
myHMB — 1.5g
Branded calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate — a leucine metabolite studied for its role in supporting protein synthesis and helping reduce muscle protein breakdown. Research in young trained men showed significant reductions in urinary markers of exercise-induced muscle protein breakdown compared to control.3
What the Published Research Shows
Each claim below is tied directly to a published, peer-reviewed study. Citation numbers link to full references at the bottom of this page. Results from clinical studies do not guarantee the same outcome for all individuals.
Study 1 — Strength Recovery at 72 Hours 1
At 72 hours post-exercise, subjects in the PeptiStrong group had recovered to above their pre-exercise baseline power output. The placebo group remained below baseline at the same time point. The gap between the two recovery trajectories represented a 144% difference, with the overall time-course comparison reaching statistical significance (p = 0.027). Plasma myostatin was also significantly lower in the PeptiStrong group vs placebo (p = 0.031).
Illustrative representation of recovery trajectories based on Kerr et al. (2023). Overall time-course p = 0.027. Individual results may vary.
Study 2 — Strength and Endurance Over 8 Weeks 2
After 8 weeks, subjects supplementing with PeptiStrong showed 100% more improvement in muscle endurance (4 reps vs 2 reps on the endurance test) and 19% more improvement in leg extension strength (32 lbs vs 27 lbs) compared to placebo. Both groups followed the same resistance training programme.
Study 3 — HMB and Markers of Muscle Protein Breakdown 3
Subjects consuming 1.5g HMB per day alongside resistance training showed a significant reduction in urinary 3-methylhistidine compared to control. 3-methylhistidine is a direct biomarker of skeletal muscle protein breakdown. This study used the same 1.5g dose as found in Recovery Peptide 144.
One Scoop. Once Daily.
Suggested Use
Mix 1 serving (1 scoop) with approximately 180ml (6 oz.) of water, juice, or your preferred beverage. Consume once daily. Unflavoured formula — may be added directly to a protein shake or other supplement without affecting flavour.
Always read the label and use as directed. Supplements should not replace a balanced diet.
Recovery Peptide 144 + Creatine Peptide 447
Creatine Peptide 447 has been studied to support strength and muscle building. Recovery Peptide 144 has been studied to support recovery and may help reduce exercise-related muscle breakdown. Two products targeting two distinct pathways — designed to be used together as the MuscleTech Peptide Series.
Common Questions About Recovery Peptide 144
What is PeptiStrong and how was it developed?
PeptiStrong is a patent-protected blend of bioactive peptides derived from fava bean (Vicia faba) protein, developed by Irish biotech company Nuritas. Nuritas used an AI platform to screen millions of peptide sequences for predicted bioactivity, then selected candidates for human clinical validation. Two randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have been published (Kerr et al. 2023; Mohan et al. 2025).12
What is myHMB and why 1.5g?
myHMB is a branded calcium salt form of HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate), a metabolite of the amino acid leucine. The 1.5g dose matches the amount used in Nissen et al. (1996)3, which is the study reporting significant reductions in urinary 3-methylhistidine (a skeletal muscle breakdown marker) in resistance-trained men.
How is this different from a standard HMB supplement?
A standard HMB product provides one ingredient. Recovery Peptide 144 combines myHMB with PeptiStrong — AI-discovered peptides that have been studied in human clinical trials for their potential role in supporting muscle protein synthesis and recovery. The two ingredients have been researched for complementary mechanisms: PeptiStrong on the synthesis side, myHMB on limiting breakdown.
When is the best time to take it?
One scoop daily, at any time that suits your routine. Many athletes take it post-workout. Consistency of daily use matters more than precise timing. Because it is unflavoured, it mixes easily into a post-workout protein shake.
Can I take it with creatine?
Yes. Recovery Peptide 144 is designed to pair with Creatine Peptide 447 as part of the MuscleTech Peptide Series. They contain different ingredients targeting different mechanisms and are safe to use together. No known interactions between the ingredients in each product.
Why is it unflavoured?
Unflavoured means zero flavour conflict — mix it into water, juice, smoothies, or any flavoured protein shake. For athletes already using flavoured supplements, this avoids doubling up on sweeteners, additives, or flavour agents unnecessarily.
