BPC 157 and TB 500 are two peptides famous for their ability to treat a wide range of injuries, including tendon or ligament ruptures, tears as well as bone fractures, burns, and wounds.
Both BPC 157 and TB 500 naturally occur in humans and animals. They play a variety of roles in the body, ranging from anti-inflammation and healing to gastric health. Athletes primarily use BPC 157 and TB 500 for their ability to rapidly heal an injury through a process known as “angiogenesis”.
This article is a comprehensive guide on using BPC 157 and TB 500 for treating injuries. It is based on the latest academic data – which you can find referenced at the very bottom of this article, the analysis of thousands of anecdotal reports and experiences online, as well as my own experiments with myself and my clients.
BPC 157 and TB 500 don’t need to be cycled on and off. If trying to heal something or recover from an injury, you simply use them until you are healed.
You can dose BPC 157 and TB 500 simultaneously or separately.
I recommend dosing them separately as they have different half-lives and will need to be injected at different times for optimal results.
If you didn’t already know this, I’ve included a detailed breakdown of both compounds further down the article.
BPC 157 can be injected or taken orally. Some prefer to take it orally for ease of use, but it’s much less effective and you’d have to take large amounts to get decent results.
This is not only less effective for threating the injury, but also expensive to sustain.
Injectable administration is preferable for treating injuries.
Injecting BPC 157 subcutaneously, close to the injured area is the most effective way to use it.
BPC 157 has incredible localized effects but mediocre systemic effects.
The injectable dose range for BPC 157 is:
You can inject once or twice a day. I advise for more frequent injections, but once a day will also work.
Use BPC 157 as long as needed to heal your injury. There is no need to cycle it.
The exact half-life of TB 500 is still unclear. We only know that it is considerably longer than BPC 157.
So daily injections are not required. It is recommended to do every other day injections, but every 3 days is also doable. This is the protocol most clinics follow.
Unlike BPC 157, TB 500 has incredible systemic effects. Meaning that it doesn’t matter where you inject it.
The recommended dosage range for TB 500 is:
If you’re trying to heal an injury, use TB 500 for as long as necessary.
When taking it for other purposes, many users benefit from cycling it for up to 8 weeks at a time.
The best way to use BPC 157 and TB 500 together is to simply dose them separately, as they have different half-lives.
Note: That doesn’t mean that you can’t inject them together. It’s as simple as mixing in TB 500 with your daily BPC 157 injections, but every other day.
IMPORTANT: BPC 157 and TB 500 come in powdered form. Before you can inject them you must reconstitute these peptides in bacteriostatic water!
BPC-157 and TB-500 share similar mechanisms of action; namely, for the purpose of treating injuries, they induce what is known as angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis is a biological process that involves the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. It is essential for wound healing and tissue repair, and whenever you sustain an injury, your body heals it via this process.
Both BPC 157 and TB 500 promote and induce angiogenesis, helping you heal injuries faster.
BPC 157 is derived from a naturally occurring sequence of amino acids found in gastric juices. When injected, BPC 157 induces angiogenesis locally. It also has properties that greatly aid cognitive, cardiovascular, and digestive health.
TB 500 is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring peptide Thymosin Beta-4 (TB4) which can be found in many tissues in both humans and animals. TB4 has many roles, but its main ones are tissue regeneration and anti-inflammation.
One of the most studied roles of thymosin beta-4 is in wound healing. It promotes cell migration, angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), and downregulates inflammatory responses, thereby accelerating tissue repair.
In pathological conditions such as cancer, angiogenesis is often dysregulated, leading to the formation of abnormal blood vessels that support tumor growth and metastasis. Taking TB 500 if you have cancer is a very bad idea to say the least.
When taken together, BPC 157 and TB 500 create a synergy unlike any other, capable of healing injured tendons, ligaments, and even bones.
They have been extensively used and recommended by thousands of professional athletes, bodybuilders, and everyday people. There are thousands of anecdotal cases online showcasing their potential to heal injuries, which further supports the scientific data we have on them.
Most importantly, they are side effect free (unless you already have cancer). If you are over-concerned, you can opt to skip TB 500 and just use BPC 157. But, in my opinion, you should be alright taking both.
Good luck, and I wish you a speedy recovery!
