BPC-157 + TB-500 | Tissue Repair & Recovery Protocol

Dose BPC-157: 250-500 mcg per dose + TB-500: 2-2.5 mg per dose
Frequency BPC-157: 1-2x daily; TB-500: 2x per week (typically Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday)
Cycle 4-8 weeks for injury recovery; shorter for maintenance
Storage Lyophilized powder: room temperature acceptable; Reconstituted: 2-8°C refrigerated for both peptides

Combines BPC-157 and TB-500 for synergistic tissue repair and recovery. 87.5% improvement in knee pain patients per Lee & Padgett 2021 study.

Mechanism of Action

BPC-157 increases actin production and modulates nitric oxide for vascular effects; TB-500 sequesters actin for cell migration; synergistic enhancement of fibroblast and immune cell movement to injury sites.

Key Benefits

  • Complementary healing mechanisms
  • 87.5% improvement in knee pain patients
  • Reduced inflammation and enhanced cell migration
  • Promotes angiogenesis and reduces scarring

Tissue Repair

  • Tendon & Ligament Healing

    Both peptides show evidence for accelerated repair; BPC-157 improved Achilles tendon healing in animal models.

  • Muscle Injury Recovery

    BPC-157 demonstrates enhanced muscle regeneration; TB-500 promotes cell migration essential for repair.

  • Joint Pain & Cartilage

    Lee & Padgett study showed 87.5% of knee pain patients improved with BPC-157/TB4 combination.

Wound Healing

  • Accelerated Wound Closure

    TB-500 Phase 2 trials showed approximately one month faster healing in ulcer patients.

Anti-Inflammatory

  • Inflammatory Cytokine Reduction

    Both peptides modulate inflammatory pathways through different mechanisms.

Subcutaneous injection recommended; most studied and effective route.

Reconstitution Instructions

Materials Needed:
  • BPC-157 vial (5mg)
  • TB-500 vial (2-5mg)
  • Bacteriostatic water
  • Insulin syringes (29-31 gauge)
  • Alcohol swabs
  1. 1 Reconstitute each peptide separately
  2. 2 BPC-157: Add 2mL BAC water to 5mg vial = 250mcg per 0.1mL
  3. 3 TB-500: Add 2mL BAC water to 5mg vial = 250mcg per 0.1mL
  4. 4 Inject slowly along vial wall; swirl gently—never shake
  5. 5 Store reconstituted peptides refrigerated at 2-8°C
  6. 6 Do NOT mix peptides in same syringe unless pre-made blend
  7. 7 Use separate injection sites if administering same day
Growth Hormone (HGH)

BPC-157 upregulates GH receptors; combined use may accelerate recovery.

synergistic
CJC-1295/Ipamorelin

GH secretagogues complement stack by increasing endogenous growth hormone.

synergistic
PEG-MGF

MGF activates satellite cells; combined mechanisms may enhance muscle recovery.

synergistic
GHK-Cu

Copper peptide promotes collagen; no negative interactions expected.

compatible
NSAIDs

BPC-157 shows protective effects against NSAID-induced damage; long-term effects unknown.

monitor
Corticosteroids

Steroids may counteract healing; BPC-157 shown to reverse some steroid-induced damage in models.

monitor
Anticoagulants

Both peptides promote angiogenesis; monitor for bleeding issues.

monitor
Chemotherapy Agents

Angiogenesis promotion could theoretically support tumor growth; contraindicated with cancer history.

avoid
Week 1-2

Possible reduction in acute inflammation and pain at injury sites

Week 2-4

Noticeable improvement in recovery between workouts; reduced soreness

Week 4-6

Significant improvement in chronic injuries; improved joint comfort

Week 6-8

Optimal healing effects; structural improvements in damaged tissues

Post-Cycle

Benefits may persist as healed tissue maintains integrity

Common Side Effects

  • Not extensively documented in human studies
  • Generally well-tolerated in available research

Stop Signs - Discontinue if:

  • Any unusual lumps, growths, or rapid tissue changes
  • Severe injection site reactions or infections
  • Signs of allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
  • Unexpected bleeding or bruising
  • Persistent headaches or vision changes
  • Any symptoms suggesting abnormal growth

Contraindications

  • ANY history of cancer or suspicious growths
  • Active malignancy or concurrent chemotherapy
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Good Signs

  • White or off-white lyophilized powder cake indicating proper freeze-drying
  • Crystal clear solution after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water
  • Certificate of Analysis with HPLC purity testing (>98%) and mass spectrometry verification

Warning Signs

  • Minor clumping acceptable if dissolves completely with gentle swirling

Bad Signs

  • Collapsed, yellowed, or powder stuck to vial sides—may indicate degradation from heat
  • Persistent cloudiness or visible particles after reconstitution—indicates contamination or degradation
  • BPC-157 + TB4 Knee Pain Study (Lee & Padgett)
