Sub-q or IM? curious if depth changes this for people

- Does BPC-157 or TB-500 need to go right at the injury site to work
So I've got tendonitis basically everywhere at this point. Started in my elbows which mostly healed with time and loading, but it's been over a year and still not 100 percent. Now it's in my feet (I have accessory naviculars in both, worse on the left) and in my thumb from old injuries, which is wrecking my grip strength at work. Found a source with COAs and third party testing so I feel okay about quality. My question is more practical, do BPC-157 and TB-500 actually need to be injected right at the painful spot to work? My feet and thumb seem like brutal places to try to pin. Trying to not waste product if I don't have to.

- FDA signaling they won't block compounded BPC-157
Wait so does this mean it's basically legal now or still a gray area? Genuinely confused by the wording.

- Tracked a 21 day BPC/TB blend cycle for lower back and tailbone pain, schedule mattered more than dose
Saving this thread, taking notes for my wrist situation.

- Ramping into a bpc-157 and tb-500 stack or jumping straight to full dose
Got my hands on a kit with bpc-157 10mg and tb-500 10mg mixed together, planning on 1000mcg total a day which works out to about 500mcg of each. I've seen a few people mention starting lower the first week, like 500mcg total, then working up to the full 1000. Is that actually worth doing or is it just people being cautious for no reason? Kind of nervous since this is my first time running a combo instead of just bpc alone.

- Does BPC-157 need to be refrigerated
This actually helps a lot, thank you. Sounds like the powder is chill until I mix it, then it's fridge only and I need to actually plan around travel instead of winging it.

- How do I figure out units per dose after mixing with bac water
This actually helped a ton, thank you all. Going to write my numbers down before I touch the syringe tonight instead of trying to wing it like I almost did.

- BPC-157 and alcohol, does it matter
Ok this helps a lot, thank you. Guess I'll enjoy the party and just not turn it into a whole weekend bender like I might have pre-injury.

- How do I figure out units per dose after mixing with bac water
Ok I finally have my vial and bac water sitting on the counter and I froze. I get that you mix them together but I have no idea how to actually know how many units to pull into the syringe for my dose. Every guide I read online uses different numbers and my brain just short circuits. Can someone walk me through the actual math in plain terms, like a really basic example. I have a 5mg vial if that helps.

- Is TB-500 legal right now
This actually clears it up a lot, thank you. Guess I'm in wait and see mode along with everyone else.

- Does BPC-157 need to be refrigerated
Newbie question. I just got my first vial of BPC-157 and mixed it with bacteriostatic water last night. Does this actually need to live in the fridge or is that overkill? I travel for work every few weeks and I'm nervous about it sitting in a hotel room all day while I'm out.

- Are peptides FDA approved
ok so is it legal or not. I keep seeing people say completely different things and I genuinely can't tell if I'm doing something sketchy by using this stuff for my wrist

- BPC-157 and alcohol, does it matter
Quick beginner question. I'm on BPC for my wrist tendinitis and I have a friend's bachelorette party coming up where I'll probably have a few drinks. Do I need to skip pinning that day or will alcohol just cancel everything out? Kind of paranoid about wasting money and time on this if one night out ruins it.

- Is TB-500 legal right now
Ok so I keep seeing mixed info and I'm getting confused. Is TB-500 actually legal to get compounded right now or is it still blocked. I thought BPC and TB were basically in the same boat but someone in another thread said TB is a step behind. Can someone break down where things actually stand as of now, not just vibes

- Can you take peptides without working out?
Genuine question because I keep seeing people talk about BPC-157 like it fixes stuff on its own. I've got wrist and forearm tendinitis from years of typing and honestly the thought of doing eccentric exercises on top of an 8 hour workday sounds exhausting. Could I just run a peptide and let it do the work while I rest the arm? Or does that not work like that.
