Thinking about dropping GHK-Cu from KLOW and just running BPC-157 + TB-500 + KPV for shoulder rehab

So I've been running the KLOW stack for about 5 weeks now for a rotator cuff thing that keeps coming back. Anecdotally the BPC and TB-500 seem to be doing the heavy lifting for the actual joint. The KPV I think is helping with general inflammation, hard to tell though.

The GHK-Cu part I'm honestly not sure is doing much for me beyond some skin stuff that could just be coincidence. And I'm kinda paranoid about copper accumulation long-term even though I know 200mcg is small. I haven't pulled bloodwork yet but I want to before I commit to another cycle.

So my question is, has anyone here run KLOW and then dropped just the GHK-Cu? Did you notice any difference in healing outcomes? Part of me thinks if the goal is tendon repair and not aesthetic stuff, the copper peptide is just extra noise in the stack.

I'm thinking BPC-157 500mcg daily, TB-500 2.5mg 2x/week, KPV 500mcg daily. Basically the Wolverine stack plus KPV. Anyone done that exact combo? Curious if the KPV adds anything meaningful on top of BPC and TB-500 or if it's redundant since BPC already has anti-inflammatory properties.

Also timing question, do you guys space the KPV and BPC injections or just mix them together?

  • curious_scientist: I tried dropping GHK‑Cu after six weeks on KLOW for a nagging shoulder strain. 5mg twice a week and added KPV 500mcg daily. For me the joint felt about the same – no clear drop in pain or range of motion when I removed the copper peptide. Skin seemed a bit less smooth but that’s hard to separate from seasonal dryness. I spaced KPV in the morning and BPC‑157 at night just to avoid stacking too many injections in one spot, but mixing them in the same syringe didn’t cause any irritation for me. If
  • tracker_jade: That's basically what I was hoping to hear. If your shoulder felt about the same after dropping it, that tells me the GHK-Cu probably wasn't doing much for the actual repair side. The skin thing I can live with, especially if it's just seasonal dryness like you said. Did you ever end up pulling bloodwork for copper after you stopped, or did you just move on? That's the part I keep going back and forth on.
