Torn achilles rehab, stacking bpc-157 with tb-500 timing?

Posted by nomad_brandon in Healing & Recovery - 1 points, 2 comments.

So i am about 6 weeks out from a partial achilles tear, nothing full rupture but bad enough i was in a boot for a month and now i am doing slow rehab work. I have run bpc-157 before for a tendinitis thing in my elbow and it seemed to help, that was maybe 3 years ago now, but i never stacked it with tb-500 and i am wondering if it is worth it for a bigger soft tissue injury like this.

For what it is worth my plan was to run bpc-157 at the higher end of what i see people talk about, split into two doses morning and night, and start light rehab at the same time. Is there a reason to add tb-500 on top, or does bpc cover the tendon/ligament healing on its own and i am just chasing extra by adding another compound? Also curious if anyone has run the oral bpc alongside the injectable, or if that is overkill and one route is enough.

• quiet_ironman: For me the stack did seem to help a tendon issue recover faster than either one alone, but honestly it's hard to say if that was the combo or just my body being more cooperative that time. Achilles is a slow healer no matter what, so don't expect miracles either way 🔬 One thing from my own mess ups, the oral form felt like nothing to me compared to the injectable, so I'd pick a route and stick with it instead of doubling up. Running both at once for an injury that gnarly sounds like a lot of v
• patient_longevity: Yeah the route thing matters a lot, oral bpc always felt like i was just wasting product when i tried it? Injectable was a different story for sure. Achilles tendon is brutal because it barely has blood flow to begin with so anything you throw at it has to actually get there, that part always worried me about oral. And i get what you mean about too many variables, kinda hard to tell what did what if you stack everything at once.
