Tracked a 21 day BPC/TB blend cycle for lower back and tailbone pain, schedule mattered more than dose
Been dealing with lower back pain sliding into tailbone discomfort for about 8 years, only got bad enough the last couple months to actually do something about it. Ran a 50/50 BPC-157/TB-500 blend, 500mcg twice daily, for 21 straight days. Paired it with 11g hydrolyzed collagen twice a day (30min before the morning jab, about an hour before the night one) plus a vitamin C gummy on the theory that it helps collagen synthesis, and kept my usual multi-B and D3/K2 going. Tracked everything in a spreadsheet because that's just who I am. Day 3 I noticed inflammation drop noticeably more than I expected. Day 6 I got put through some unplanned heavy yard work and had zero flare the next day, which never happens. Back to baseline function by day 10 instead of the usual 2+ weeks. By day 15 I could sit through a full workday without shifting every five minutes. Not fully healed by day 22 when I stopped, still some residual tightness, but the trajectory was clearly different from past flares. My question for people who've run longer blends like this: does the twice daily low dose schedule actually matter more than total mg, or am I just experiencing a good flare cycle that would've calmed down anyway? Curious if anyone has data either way.
Measure it or it did not happen.
