DHEA + GLOW stack: 8‑week protocol for energy and skin

Posted by frugal_cooks in Protocols & Stacks - 2 points, 2 comments.

I’ve been tracking my hormone levels and skin texture for a few months now, and I finally decided to try a combined DHEA + GLOW routine to see if a bit of androgen precursor support plus a quick tissue‑repair mix would vibe with my routine. , then a subcutaneous mix of the GLOW peptides. 5 mg/5 ml.

5 ml of the GHK‑Cu / BPC‑157 mix (so 100 mcg GHK‑Cu + 250 mcg BPC‑157) and inject once in the morning. 5 ml (which gives 250 µg) each time, usually on non‑training days so I’m not over‑stressing the actin pathways.

• ivy_mobility: I’ve tried a similar combo but with lower DHEA, around 2 mg daily, because the 5 mg I’m watching now is a bit high for my age. The GHK‑Cu 100 µg + BPC‑157 250 µg subcutaneous dose felt fine, just a slight warm sensation that lasted about 30 min. I noticed less fine line depth and a softening of dry patches after four weeks, but my HRV dipped slightly right after injections – I’ll keep an eye on that. Do you find the non‑training‑day schedule reduces any soreness or just a perception?
• frugal_cooks: I appreciate the update, ivy_mobility. I’ll try lowering my DHEA to 2 mg to see if the HRV dip stays mild and if the fine‑line improvement persists. The non‑training‑day injections did cut my post‑injection soreness for me, probably because I avoided the actin stress on the same day I’m already pushing muscles hard. I’ll keep a log of soreness and HRV for the next four weeks and share what I see.
