BPC-157 arginate oral timing around PT for a cranky posterior tibial tendon

Posted by grinder265 in Healing & Recovery - 1 points, 0 comments.

Been dealing with posterior tibial tendinopathy for like 6 weeks now, started as a dull annoyance on long runs and turned into something I cant ignore. Doing PT twice a week, eccentric loaded calf raises, tibialis posterior raises, all the boring stuff, plus I dropped my mileage which is killing me tbh.

Ngl I started oral BPC arginate about 10 days in. Doing 500mcg twice a day on an empty stomach, morning and before bed. Im not gonna sit here and say it fixed anything cause its early, but the morning stiffness when I first step out of bed seems less, like maybe 30% less. Could be placebo, could just be the PT finally kicking in.

Question for anyone whos run oral arginate for a tendon issue specifically, how did you time it relative to your PT sessions? I was doing it morning and night but moved one dose to right after my PT appt in case theres any acute post-session benefit. No clue if that actually matters for an oral route.

Also curious how long people ran it for tendinopathy before calling it. I dont want to stay on it forever.
