Timing BPC‑157 injections around my knee rehab – any tips?

Posted by nina_trailrun in Healing & Recovery - 1 points, 0 comments.

I’ve been dealing with a lingering patellar tendon strain for the past month. After reading up, I decided to try injectable BPC‑157 at the “standard” 250 µg dose, split into two daily injections. I’m doing eccentric quad work three times a week and light cycling on off days.

My question is simple: how should I time the injections relative to my physio sessions? I’ve been taking the first dose in the morning, then training about two hours later, and the second dose before bed. Ngl, I’m not sure if that’s optimal for absorption or if I’m missing a window where it could boost collagen synthesis more effectively.

Also, anyone notice any differences in soreness or joint stiffness when they give the peptide right after a workout versus a few hours before? I’m trying to avoid any extra inflammation while still getting the “healing boost.” Any personal anecdotes or dosing tweaks you’ve tried would be appreciated.
