BPC-157 + TB-500 base with GHK-Cu added at week 3, anyone running a similar timing?

Howzit, keen to get thoughts on a protocol I'm lining up for a niggling proximal biceps tendon that's been hanging around for months now.

Planning to run a Wolverine base first, so BPC-157 daily at 500mcg subq near the tendon, plus TB-500 at 2.5mg twice a week. From everything I've read and felt before, that combo on its own does solid work on tendon stuff, but I want to layer in GHK-Cu at around the 3 week mark, 200mcg a day, mostly for the collagen synthesis angle and because the area feels a bit stuck in its healing cycle tbh.

Main question is timing. Does adding GHK-Cu at week 3 actually make sense once the initial inflammatory phase has settled, or am I better off starting everything on day one? Also curious whether anyone splits the BPC-157 between local subq and a bit oral, or keeps it strictly one route for tendon work.

Cycle length is sitting around 8 to 10 weeks right now, with bloodwork before and after. Any input on the sequencing or the GHK-Cu add-on timing would be lekker.

  • tiredmira: Interesting stack you're putting together. For a tendon that's been stuck for months, waiting 3 weeks before adding GHK-Cu makes some sense to me since it does seem to work better once the initial healing is moving. I've done the opposite before and just layered everything from day one. Honestly couldn't tell if the timing mattered. 🤷‍♀️ Local subq vs oral for BPC is the question I've been going back and forth on too. For deep tendons like proximal biceps I'm not sure how much actually reache
  • runner_aaron: Fair enough. Yeah I think I'll stick with the week 3 add for GHK-Cu then, gives the inflammatory phase space to do its thing first. For BPC I'm gonna keep it strictly local subq near the tendon, oral just seems pointless for something this deep tbh. Range of motion tracking is a good call, I usually just eyeball pain but I'll actually measure it properly this time around.
