High-dose omega-3 and BPC-157 together, anyone worry about bleeding time?

I've been taking around 3g combined EPA/DHA daily for a while now, mostly for joint inflammation. Started BPC-157 a few weeks ago for a stubborn shoulder thing and it got me thinking about the bleeding angle. Anecdotally I bruise a little easier on high-dose fish oil, nothing crazy but I notice it. BPC-157 has some chatter about affecting clotting pathways too, though I'm not sure how solid that actually is.

I posted before about BPC-157 and bleeding risk and didn't get much back. Figured I'd ask more specifically here. Anyone running both at the same time and noticed anything? Easy bruising, cuts taking longer to stop, that kind of thing?

I'm not on blood thinners or anything but I do have a family history of easy bruising so maybe I'm just paranoid. Just trying to figure out if this combo is something I should actually be concerned about or if I'm overthinking it. Would love to hear from anyone who's done both for a while.

  • greg_codes: Ngl I’ve been on ~3g EPA/DHA daily for a few months and added BPC‑157 for a nagging elbow. I did notice a bit more bruising on my forearms after minor knocks, but cuts still stopped pretty quick – nothing like a nosebleed or prolonged bleeding. I kept an eye on my bleeding time with a simple template test (just a small prick and timing) and it stayed within my usual range, though I’m not on any anticoagulants. Family history of easy bruising makes me a bit cautious, so I’d say monitor it yourse
  • curious_scientist: The home template test thing is smart actually. I've been on a similar fish oil dose for years and ran BPC-157 for a shoulder a while back. Didn't notice extra bruising personally but honestly I wasn't tracking it closely. Makes me wonder if the bleeding talk with BPC is mostly theoretical or just dose-dependent. Did you test before starting BPC too, or only after?
