Four words you need
Read these once. After that, every card on this page reads like plain English.
Word 1
BAC water
Special sterile water. Peptides ship as dry powder — you add this water to turn the powder into liquid you can pull into a syringe. It keeps the vial clean for weeks.
Word 2
A "line"
The little tick marks on an insulin syringe. There are 100 of them. 100 lines = one full syringe. When a card says draw to 10, it means pull the plunger back to the 10th line. A few cards ask for a half number like 7.5 — that just means stop halfway between the 7 and the 8.
Word 3
SubQ
A shallow poke into the soft fat just under your skin — belly, love handle, or thigh. Tiny needle. Not into muscle. Not into a vein.
Word 4
mcg and mg
Two sizes of the same thing. 1 mg = 1,000 mcg. Most peptides are measured in mcg (small). Fat-loss shots are measured in mg (big).
Step one, every time
Mixing your vial
Your peptide arrives as a dry powder. You add water to it. How much water you add is what decides what each line on your syringe is worth — so this step decides every number after it.
- Wipe the top. Rub the rubber top of the vial with an alcohol swab.
- Pull the water. Use the big 3 mL syringe to pull up the amount of BAC water your card tells you.
- Pour it down the side. Push the water in slowly so it runs down the inside wall of the vial. Do not blast it straight onto the powder.
- Swirl — never shake. Roll it gently between your fingers. Shaking can wreck the peptide.
- Wait, then chill. Give it 5–10 minutes to fully dissolve, then keep it in the fridge. GHK-Cu, GLOW, and KLOW turn bright turquoise — that is the copper in them, not a bad vial.
The shortcut that covers most of this page
A 10 mg vial + 2 mL of BAC water → 1 line = 50 mcg
If you only ever remember one thing, remember that. Need to work out a vial this page does not cover? Do it in three steps, the way you would split a pizza:
- How strong is it? Divide the mg in the vial by the mL of water you added. A 10 mg vial with 2 mL of water is 5 mg in every mL.
- What is one line worth? A full syringe is 100 lines and holds 1 mL. So split that 5 mg across 100 lines: each line is 50 mcg.
- How many lines? Divide the dose you want by what one line is worth. Want 500 mcg? 500 divided by 50 is 10. Draw to the 10 line.

The big board
Every peptide, its mix, and its starting draw. This is the fridge-door version — full details are in the cards below.

One card each
The dose cards
Grouped by what people are actually trying to do. The number in gold is always the line you draw to on day one — the ladder underneath shows where you go from there.
Heal & repair
Tendons, joints, gut, and getting over injuries
Wolverine Stack
BPC-157 + TB-500 in one vial — the all-purpose repair shot
10 mg + 10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg of each peptide
3 · Draw to10 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a day subQ belly, switch spots
10 lines
020406080100
10 lines = 500 mcg BPC-157 + 500 mcg TB-500 in one poke
- Normal start10 lines, once a day, every day
- Fast start (optional)Weeks 1–2 at 15 lines a day → week 3 on, drop back to 10
- Rest6–8 weeks on, then at least 4 weeks off
Good to know: one vial lasts about 20 days at 10 lines a day, or about 13 days at 15. Because both peptides sit in the same vial, you dose daily — you cannot pull one without the other. Check your label: "one line = 50 mcg of each" is only true for a 10 mg + 10 mg vial. If yours is a different mix (say 5 mg BPC + 10 mg TB), the numbers on this card do not apply — work yours out with the three steps in Mixing your vial.
Before you start: both of these grow new blood vessels. If you have cancer now or recently had it, do not run this without your oncologist. Both are banned in drug-tested sport.
BPC-157 alone
The repair guy — works hardest right where you inject it
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg
3 · Draw to5 lines
4 · How often1 or 2 times a day near the sore spot
5–10 lines
020406080100
5 lines = 250 mcg · 10 lines = 500 mcg
- Where to pokeIn the fat near the hurt area — this one works locally
- Pair itStacks cleanly with TB-500 and with KPV
- How long4–8 weeks for a nagging injury
New to peptides? Running BPC-157 by itself for the first two weeks makes it much easier to tell what is actually doing what.
Before you start: BPC-157 grows new blood vessels. If you have cancer now or recently had it, do not run this without your cancer doctor. It is also banned in drug-tested sport. No human trial has tested it, and it is not FDA-approved.
TB-500 alone
The traffic controller — sends repair cells wherever the damage is
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg
3 · Draw to40 lines
4 · How oftenTwice a week then once a week
40–50 lines
020406080100
40 lines = 2 mg · 50 lines = 2.5 mg
- Loading, weeks 1–62–2.5 mg twice a week (4–5 mg a week total)
- Weeks 7–122–2.5 mg once a week
- WhereBelly, thigh, or shoulder — it travels body-wide, so the spot barely matters
Why a separate vial: a combined 10/10 Wolverine vial cannot give you a TB-500 loading dose without dragging BPC-157 up to 2–2.5 mg per shot too. For a real injury, buy them separately.
KPV
The fire extinguisher — turns inflammation down without darkening skin
5 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =25 mcg
3 · Draw to8 lines
4 · How oftenEvery morning subQ
8 lines
020406080100
8 lines = 200 mcg · 10 = 250 mcg · 20 = 500 mcg
- Week 1200 mcg — draw to 8, each morning
- Week 2 on250–500 mcg — draw to 10–20. Settle at 500 mcg (20 lines) each morning, 5 days on, 2 days off
- Rest4–8 weeks on. Long inflammation plans often run 8 weeks on, 8 weeks off
Gut problems instead? Shots work best for body-wide stuff — joints, widespread skin trouble. For the gut itself, people use a swallowed enteric-coated form at 500 mcg–1 mg a day split across meals, so it lands right on the gut lining. Honest note: these amounts come from animal studies and from what doctors have observed, not from finished human trials.
Skin, hair & glow
Collagen, wound healing, and the blends built around it
GHK-Cu
The collagen builder — skin, hair, and wound repair
50 mg vial
1 · Mix2.5 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =200 mcg
3 · Draw to5 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a day subQ
5 lines
020406080100
5 lines = 1 mg · 7.5 = 1.5 mg · 10 = 2 mg
- Week 11 mg a day — draw to 5
- Week 2 on1.5–2 mg a day — draw to 7.5–10
- Rest8–12 weeks on, 2–4 weeks off
Don't panic: the liquid turns turquoise. That is the copper doing its job, not a bad vial. A mild sting at the spot is normal too. On longer runs, take 15–30 mg of zinc to keep your copper and zinc in balance.
GLOW Stack
Three peptides in one vial — GHK-Cu + BPC-157 + TB-500
70 mg blend
1 · Mix3 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =167 + 33 + 33 mcg GHK-Cu + BPC-157 + TB-500, all in the same line
3 · Draw to10 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a day subQ, switch spots
10–15 lines
020406080100
10 lines = about 1.67 mg GHK-Cu + 333 mcg each of BPC-157 and TB-500
- Week 110 lines once a day
- Week 2 on10–15 lines a day if it is treating you well
- Rest4–8 weeks on, then about the same amount of time off
Why 10–15 is the sweet spot: it puts all three peptides inside their normal individual ranges at the same time. That is the entire point of a blend. Typical timeline people report: inflammation settles around week 2, skin changes show up weeks 3–4.
Before you start: BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu all grow new blood vessels. Get screened if you have any cancer history. Honest note: no trial has ever tested these three together — the blend is built from three peptides that were each studied on their own.
KLOW Stack
GLOW with KPV added — pick this one when the problem is inflammation
80 mg blend
1 · Mix3 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =167 + 33 + 33 + 33 mcg GHK-Cu + BPC-157 + TB-500 + KPV, all in the same line
3 · Draw to10 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a day subQ, switch spots
10–15 lines
020406080100
10 lines = about 1.67 mg GHK-Cu + 333 mcg each of BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV
- Week 110 lines once a day
- Week 2 on10–15 lines a day if it is treating you well
- Rest4–8 weeks on, then about the same amount of time off
GLOW or KLOW? Choose GLOW when the goal is skin, hair, and tissue repair. Choose KLOW when inflammation is the main issue — gut trouble, angry skin, a joint that stays puffy. Aiming at one spot? Inject in the fat near it. BPC-157 hits hardest close to home.
Before you start: same blood-vessel warning as GLOW — get screened if you have any cancer history. Honest note: not one published trial has tested these four together — the blend is a community recipe built from four separately-studied peptides.
Glutathione
Your liver's cleanup crew — the master antioxidant
1,500 mg vial
1 · Mix5 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =3 mg
3 · Draw to100 lines
4 · How often2 or 3 times a week not daily
100 lines
020406080100
100 lines = one completely full syringe = 300 mg
- Week 1300 mg a session — one full syringe
- Week 2 on600 mg a session — that is two full syringes, back to back
- No break neededKeep going as long as you want, or run it in 8–12 week blocks
Why not daily: it is a big molecule and there is no need. Twice or three times a week is the schedule. SubQ or into muscle both work at home. An IV drip (straight into a vein) gets more of it into you, but that is a clinic job, not a home one. Switch spots every time.
Tesamorelin
The belly-fat one — strongest of the GH peptides for deep fat
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg
3 · Draw to20 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a day in the evening
20 → 40 lines
020406080100
20 lines = 1 mg · 40 lines = 2 mg
- Weeks 1–21 mg a night — draw to 20
- Week 3 on2 mg a night — draw to 40
- Rest12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
Why evening: your body makes its own burst of growth hormone in the morning. Dosing at night leaves that one alone.
Never at the same time as Sermorelin or either CJC-1295. All four knock on the same gland, so running two gets you less, not more.
Sermorelin
The gentlest GH option — most people notice sleep first
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2.5 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =40 mcg
3 · Draw to5 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a day right before bed
5–7.5 lines
020406080100
5 lines = 200 mcg · 7.5 lines = 300 mcg
- Week 1200 mcg nightly — draw to 5
- Week 2 on200–300 mcg nightly — draw to 5–7.5
- Rest12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
Never at the same time as Tesamorelin or either CJC-1295 — they all knock on the same gland, so running two gets you less, not more.
CJC-1295 with DAC
The once-a-week version — parks in your blood for days
2 mg vial
1 · Mix1 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =20 mcg
3 · Draw to50 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a week same day each week
50 → 100 lines
020406080100
50 lines = 1 mg · 100 lines = 2 mg = a full syringe
- Weeks 1–21 mg a week — draw to 50
- Week 3 on2 mg a week — draw to 100
- Rest12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
The trade-off: it stays in you 6–8 days, which is convenient, but it gives a steady hum instead of the natural on-off pulses your body makes on its own. Pairs well with Ipamorelin.
Never at the same time as the no-DAC version, Sermorelin, or Tesamorelin.
CJC-1295 no DAC
Also called Mod GRF 1-29 — one quick burst of growth hormone, gone in 30 minutes
5 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =25 mcg
3 · Draw to4 lines
4 · How often1 or 3 times a day empty stomach
4 lines
020406080100
4 lines = 100 mcg. Got a 2 mg vial instead? 2 mL of water makes 1 line = 10 mcg.
- Week 1100 mcg at bedtime — draw to 4
- Week 2 on100 mcg, 2 or 3 times a day — morning, after training, bedtime
- Rest8–12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
More is not better here. Past about 100 mcg you are mostly wasting product — the receptors are already full, so 300 mcg does not give you triple the growth hormone. Timing matters: no carbs or fat for 1 hour before or 30 minutes after. Food shrinks the burst.
Never at the same time as Tesamorelin, Sermorelin, or CJC-1295 with DAC.
Ipamorelin
The clean one — presses a different button, so it stacks fine
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg
3 · Draw to4 lines
4 · How often2 or 3 times a day start with just bedtime
4–6 lines
020406080100
4 lines = 200 mcg · 6 lines = 300 mcg
- Week 1200 mcg once a day before bed — draw to 4
- Week 2 on200–300 mcg, 2 or 3 times a day — morning, after training, bedtime
- Rest8–12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
"Clean" means no hunger spike and no stress-hormone bump. Same food rule as the CJCs: no carbs or fat 1 hour before or 30 minutes after. This is the one you add on top of your one growth-hormone peptide — Tesamorelin, Sermorelin, or either CJC-1295. It knocks on a different door, so the two really do add up. Many people draw it into the same syringe as CJC-1295 no DAC, using 100–200 mcg of Ipamorelin alongside it.
Fat-loss shots
All three copy GLP-1, a gut hormone that tells your brain you are full. Weekly shots. Pick one — never two.
Retatrutide
The strongest of the three — hits three switches instead of one
10 mg vial
1 · Mix1 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =0.1 mg so 10 lines = 1 mg
3 · Draw to5 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a week same day each week
5 → 20 lines
020406080100
5 lines = 0.5 mg · 10 = 1 mg · 20 = 2 mg · 40 = 4 mg
- Start0.5 mg once a week — draw to 5
- Going upAdd 0.5 mg (5 more lines) every 2–4 weeks. If your stomach is unhappy, stay where you are until it settles
- Settle at2 mg a week (20 lines) is a common landing spot
Stomach stuff — nausea and reflux — is worst in the first 2 weeks after every step up, then usually fades. Protect your muscle: eat plenty of protein and lift, or a big chunk of what you lose is muscle, not fat.
Two ways to run it. The way Dr. Goins runs it: 12 weeks on, then 4 weeks off. The way the studies ran it: keep going every week for as long as it is working. Either way, do not just stop — cut your dose in half every 2–4 weeks on the way down: 4 mg → 2 mg → 1 mg → 0.5 mg → done.
Never with semaglutide, tirzepatide, or any other GLP-1. Same pathway — you stack the side effects, not the results.
Tirzepatide
Two appetite levers instead of one — the Mounjaro / Zepbound molecule
10 mg vial
1 · Mix1 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =0.1 mg
3 · Draw to25 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a week any time, with or without food
25 → 100 lines
020406080100
25 lines = 2.5 mg · 50 = 5 mg · 75 = 7.5 mg · 100 = 10 mg
- Weeks 1–42.5 mg — draw to 25. This is a get-used-to-it dose, not a working dose
- The ladder2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15 mg max. Four full weeks at each step. Never climb faster
- Settle at5, 10, or 15 mg a week — whichever controls your appetite with side effects you can live with. Plenty of people do great and stay at 5
Getting to the top takes about 5 months on purpose. Rushing the ladder is what makes people quit from nausea. Nausea, constipation, and reflux are worst in the first 1–2 weeks after every step up. Eat protein and lift, or you lose muscle along with fat.
Never with another GLP-1. Do not use if you are pregnant, or if you or anyone in your family has had medullary thyroid cancer, or a condition called MEN2 (an inherited illness that causes tumors in several glands). If you do not know, ask your family and your doctor before your first shot.
Semaglutide
The original — gentler and slower, which is why some people handle it better
5 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =25 mcg
3 · Draw to10 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a week same day each week
10 → 96 lines
020406080100
10 lines = 0.25 mg · 20 = 0.5 mg · 40 = 1 mg · 68 = 1.7 mg · 96 = 2.4 mg
- Weeks 1–40.25 mg — draw to 10
- The ladder0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg. Four weeks at each step — a 16-week climb
- Settle at2.4 mg a week. If that is too rough, 1.7 mg is a perfectly good place to stop — hold there rather than quitting
Same rules as tirzepatide: do not rush the ladder, do not stack it with another GLP-1, and keep protein high and keep lifting to hold onto muscle.
Never with another GLP-1. Do not use if you are pregnant, or if you or anyone in your family has had medullary thyroid cancer, or a condition called MEN2 (an inherited illness that causes tumors in several glands). If you do not know, ask your family and your doctor before your first shot.
Energy, mood & more
Cellular energy, calm, and color
NAD+
Battery fluid for your cells — fair warning, it stings
500 mg vial
1 · Mix2.5 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =2 mg
3 · Draw to25 lines
4 · How oftenEvery morning never at night
25 → 100 lines
020406080100
25 lines = 50 mg · 50 = 100 mg · 100 = 200 mg = a full syringe
- Week 1Start at 50 mg — draw to 25. If the sting is too much, drop to 25 mg (draw to 12.5) or go every other day
- Weeks 2–350–75 mg, then 75–100 mg — draw to 25–50
- Week 4 on100–200 mg a day — draw to 50–100
- RestNone needed. You are topping up something your body is short on, so there is nothing to burn out
The sting is real. Ice the spot first, push the plunger slowly over 30–60 seconds, and switch spots every time. Start at 50 mg just to see how you handle it. Morning only — an evening dose can wreck your sleep.
MOTS-c
Flips the same cell switch a hard workout flips — it boosts training, not replaces it
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg
3 · Draw to10 lines
4 · How often1 or 2 times a week 30–60 min before training
10 → 100 lines
020406080100
10 lines = 500 mcg · 20 = 1 mg · 50 = 2.5 mg · 100 = 5 mg = a full syringe
- Start500 mcg–1 mg — draw to 10–20. Small on purpose, to see how your blood sugar reacts
- Going upAdd 250–500 mcg (5–10 lines) at a time over several weeks. Back off if your blood sugar runs low
- Where people landUp to 5 mg (100 lines) a shot, once or twice a week. People who prefer smaller shots stay at 1–2.5 mg (20–50 lines) and dose more often — even every day. Either way the whole week adds up to about 5–10 mg
- Rest8–12 weeks on, about 4 weeks off, 2–3 times a year
Storage matters here: keep the mixed vial in the fridge (2–8 °C, about 36–46 °F) and use it within about 28 days. SubQ only — belly, thigh, or upper arm, switching spots. Reported side effects: sore injection spot, faster heartbeat, trouble sleeping, headache, flushing, mild stomach upset.
Blood sugar warning: MOTS-c lowers it, and that effect adds on top of insulin, metformin, or any of the fat-loss shots (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide). Start low and check your glucose. Honest note: no finished human trial has ever set a MOTS-c dose — these numbers come from community practice, not a study. Banned in tested sport.
Selank
Takes the edge off without making you foggy or sleepy
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg
3 · Draw to5 lines
4 · How oftenOnce a day subQ
5–10 lines
020406080100
5 lines = 250 mcg · 6 lines = 300 mcg · 10 lines = 500 mcg
- Weeks 1–2250–300 mcg once a day — draw to 5 or 6
- After thatStep up to 500 mcg a day (draw to 10) if you want more effect
- RestDaily for 4 weeks, then 4 weeks off
The nasal spray is the version with real research behind it: 300 mcg three times a day (900 mcg total), run in 10–21 day courses, then 1–3 weeks off. Published Russian protocols range from 600–2,700 mcg a day split across 2–3 sprays, alternating nostrils. The injectable version is community practice with no formal human studies.
No drowsiness, so it will not fog you up at work. No dependence or withdrawal has been reported. Often paired with Semax when you want focus as well as calm.
Melanotan 2
Tells your skin to make pigment — read this card twice
10 mg vial
1 · Mix2 mL of BAC water
2 · One line =50 mcg
3 · Draw to5 lines
4 · How oftenDaily or every other day in the evening, with food
5–10 lines
020406080100
5 lines = 250 mcg · 10 lines = 500 mcg
- Start250 mcg — draw to 5. Many people go every other day at first just to see how the nausea hits
- Building color, first 7–14 days250 mcg daily or every other day, working up toward 500 mcg once you know how you react
- Holding color250–500 mcg, 1 or 2 times a week
Why evening, with food: flushing and nausea peak 30–90 minutes after the shot, and most people would rather be asleep for that. You still need some sun — MT-2 speeds tanning up, it does not replace UV.
Read this before you buy it. This has the smallest gap on the whole page between the dose that works and the dose that makes you miserable — do not freelance upward. It darkens moles and freckles, so get a skin exam and mole mapping first, and skip it completely if you have a history of melanoma or unusual moles. Serious harm, including muscle breakdown, has been reported when people self-dosed large amounts (around 6 mg). Expect flushing, nausea, and appetite loss early; men often get spontaneous erections.
The mistake that quietly cancels results
Don't double up on the same door
Some peptides knock on the exact same door in your body. Running two of them does not double anything — they just take turns, and you get less than running one on its own.
The GHRH family
Pick exactly one
TesamorelinSermorelin
CJC-1295 with DACCJC-1295 no DAC
GHRH is short for growth-hormone-releasing hormone. These four are all copies of it, so all four knock on the same door — the pituitary, the little gland in your head that makes growth hormone. Only so many can get through at once, so running two or three means they take turns instead of adding up. Your peak growth hormone can drop by about a third versus running just one. Ipamorelin is not one of the four — it knocks on a different door, which is exactly why it is the safe one to add.
The fat-loss shots
Pick exactly one
SemaglutideTirzepatideRetatrutide
All three are copies of the same gut hormone, GLP-1, which is what tells your brain you have eaten enough. They all pull the same lever, so running two just doubles the nausea and the side effects — not the fat loss.
These do stack
Safe to combine
One GHRH + IpamorelinBPC-157 + TB-500+ KPV
Ipamorelin uses a different door than the GHRH family, so one GHRH plus Ipamorelin genuinely adds up — that is the cleanest growth hormone stack there is. BPC-157 and TB-500 work by different mechanisms (local repair plus body-wide cell recruitment), and KPV calms inflammation without competing with either.
When it is a real injury
Torn ACL or Achilles
A completely torn ACL or Achilles is a surgery. No peptide reattaches two separated ends of a tendon — anyone who tells you it does is selling something. What peptides may be able to do is help the healing around that repair while you do your rehab. Get the diagnosis, get the imaging, and clear anything you take with your surgeon.
How healing actually unfolds
And what each peptide is doing at each stage
Days 1–5
Swelling. Your body floods the area.TB-500 turns the swelling response down. BPC-157 starts calling in repair signals.
Days 5–21
Rebuilding. New tissue gets laid down.BPC-157 drives the cells that make collagen. TB-500 keeps moving repair cells in and building blood supply.
Weeks 3–8
Remodeling. New tissue reorganizes into something that can take load.Both help here. The goal is stronger tissue and less junk scar.
Plan A — partial tear, sprain, or tendon pain
No surgery involved
The dose
BPC-157 250–500 mcg and TB-500 250–500 mcg, 1 or 2 times a day.Using a 10/10 Wolverine vial with 2 mL of water: draw to 10 lines twice a day (morning and evening) for the full 500 + 500 twice-daily version.
Where
Morning shot as close to the injury as you can safely inject — BPC-157's local effect is the whole point.Evening shot in the belly for body-wide coverage.
Plan B — complete tear, or after surgery
ACL reconstruction, Achilles repair — buy separate vials for this one
Weeks 1–6
TB-500 2–2.5 mg twice a week (4–5 mg a week) + BPC-157 250–500 mcg every day.TB-500 math: 10 mg vial + 2 mL → 40 lines = 2 mg, 50 lines = 2.5 mg. BPC-157 math: 10 mg vial + 2 mL → 5 lines = 250 mcg, 10 lines = 500 mcg.
Weeks 7–12
TB-500 2–2.5 mg once a week + BPC-157 250–500 mcg every day
How long
8–12 weeks for after-surgery and long-standing cases — about double what you would run for a minor strain
When to start
Coordinate with your surgeon. Most people wait until the incision is closed and healing — commonly the 1–2 week mark — before injecting anywhere near the site.Belly shots for body-wide coverage are the usual starting point in the meantime.
Four things that decide your outcome.
1. Rehab does the heavy lifting. Tendons and ligaments get strong by being loaded. Progressive loading with a good physical therapist is what builds strong tissue. Peptides may improve the raw material — they will not build a knee you can cut on.
2. Feeling better is not healed. The most dangerous part of a good response is going back to sport early because the pain quieted down. Follow the timeline and the return-to-play testing, not how it feels.
3. Cancer screening. Both peptides promote new blood-vessel growth. Anyone with an active or recent cancer should not run this without oncology input.
4. Drug-tested athletes. BPC-157 and TB-500 are both banned by WADA. This protocol ends your season.
Honest evidence note: no human trial has tested BPC-157 + TB-500 against BPC-157 alone, and neither is FDA-approved. These protocols come from mechanism plus years of clinical and community practice — not from a finished randomized trial.
Before your first dose
What else you need
Besides the peptide itself, four things. Have all of them on hand before the vial arrives.
3 mL mixing syringe
Used only to move BAC water into the vial. Keep it separate from your dosing syringes.
Amazon →
U-100 insulin syringes
The small ones with the 100 lines. These are what you actually dose with.
Amazon →
Alcohol prep swabs
For the vial top and your skin, every single time.
Amazon →
Every vial we sell ships with a batch COA
An outside lab checks two things on your exact batch: how pure it is, and that the molecule really is what the label says. Tied to your lot number — the same proof you should demand from anyone.
