LL-37 alongside oral BPC arginate for a slow-healing Achilles, redundant or actually useful?

To be fair I've been stuck on this Achilles tendinopathy for like 4 months now, oral BPC arginate has helped but I keep hitting a plateau around week 10ish. Doing the boring rehab stuff too, heavy slow resistance, calf eccentrics, the whole deal.

Been reading up on LL-37 since it's supposedly antimicrobial AND promotes angiogenesis and re-epithelialization, which sounds like it could move the needle on the stubborn tissue remodeling part. My logic is BPC is doing the growth factor / NO modulation side of things and LL-37 might bring the immune signaling + new blood vessel piece.

Anyone actually stacked these two or am I overthinking it? Curious if LL-37 is something people run for tendon stuff or if it's mostly a wound healing / skin thing. Also wondering about timing, like would morning LL-37 and evening BPC make sense or does that even matter at the 4-6hr half life range.
