BPC‑157 & TB‑500 combo for post‑marathon Achilles? Dosing & timing question

Posted by grinder265 in Healing & Recovery - 2 points, 0 comments.

After finishing a 100‑km ultramarathon last month, my right Achilles was tight and tender. I started BPC‑157 oral at 1 mg twice a day and TB‑500 2 mg injected three times a week, first dose the day after the race. I’m on PT withrichting plantarflexion stretches and light eccentric work.

I noticed swelling dropping in the first week, but pain lingers during evening runs. I’m wondering about the exact timing of TB‑500 relative to PT sessions, do I injectatrix before or after the session? Also, should I taper BPC‑157 after the first month, or keep it consistent?

I’ve read about gut‐systemic synergy, so I’ve been eating fiber‑rich meals to support BPC absorption. Any firsthand experience or tweaks you’d suggest for dose or schedule would be appreciated. Ngl I’m still figuring out the best rhythm to keep the tendon from healing too fast or too slow.
