Testing lån: FGL + GLOW combo for post‑workout recovery

Posted by data_coldplunge in Protocols & Stacks - 7 points, 4 comments.

I finally tried a stack that blends FGL with the GLOW mix to see if adding a nootropic can help keep my brain sharp while the body heals. I do 5–6 5‑minute bursts of HIIT with 10‑minute rest, then take my peptides. 05 mg/kg for my 85 kg frame) in 1 mL 5 % dextrose, 200 mcg GHK‑Cu, staben???

5 mg TB‑500. 7 mL. I inject the FGL immediately after the last HIIT burst, and the GLOW combo the next morning.

I’ve been on this for 4 weeks, 5 days a week. I notice less soreness and brain fog after sessions, and my recovery time feels shorter. I’ve also tracked my heart rate variability; it's trending higher, which could mean better autonomic balance.

No major injection site reactions. Anyone else tried this combo? What timing and reconstitution tweaks would you suggest?

  • retired_cooks: i’m really curious about your results because i’ve been looking at similar mixes but not the exact combo. for me the first week of the FGL + GLOW stack felt a bit too heavy at 5 mg/kg – i cut it to 4 mg after the second session and the soreness dropped noticeably. i usually reconstitute TB‑500 in 7 mL of sterile saline and keep the GHK‑Cu in a separate vial, then combine them just before injection; it helps keep the copper stable. the heart rate variability increase you mention is encouraging,
  • data_coldplunge: Thanks for the tips on splitting TB-500 and keeping GHK-Cu stable, makes sense for stability. At 5mg for me, the combo felt manageable after cutting back from higher doses earlier. Curious if your saline method affected absorption timing or just stability? Also, do you track HRV post-6 months? Mine’s still up but not sure if it’s placebo or real.
  • liam_sleepnerd: I’ve been in a similar spot. I cut FGL to 4 mg after the first week and soreness dropped for me too. HRV climbed about 15 % in the first three weeks then leveled, so I’m not sure if another 3–4 months would push it up more or just stay steady. TB‑500 in saline keeps it stable, and keeping GHK‑Cu separate before mixing works just fine. practically… no big changes in HRV after 6  mere months, but I’ve been tweaking my training load more than the stack itself.
  • data_coldplunge: Interesting you cut FGL to 4 mg after week one, my own 5 mg turned to 4 mg after two weeks and soreness dropped too. I saw HRV rise about 12 % over the first month, then it plateaued, so I’m starting to think it’s hitting a ceiling. Did you change your training volume or intensity around the same time? Also, what recorder did you use for HRV?
