Isometrics before ice. Every time.

• Throbbing pain the day after GHK-Cu injections, no redness or swelling

  Same here. Glutes are the worst for me, way more sore than my stomach ever was.

• Does BPC-157 or TB-500 need to go right at the injury site to work

  My PT recommended systemic for my patellar stuff, said pinning directly into the tendon itself is asking for trouble anyway.

• Scar healing peptides before a mole excision with a pending biopsy

  Yeah this. With a BCC history I'd want clean margins confirmed before touching anything angiogenic.

• BPC-157 / TB-500 after labral repair, worth starting early?

  Following, my shoulder guy on the team is staring down the same surgery.

• Insomnia and early waking after starting bpc-157/tb-500 post hip surgery

  Same, week 2 it faded for me.

• Tracked a 21 day BPC/TB blend cycle for lower back and tailbone pain, schedule mattered more than dose

  How strict were you with the exact timing between jabs? Curious if drift matters.

• Dosage and timeline for BPC-157 and TB-500 on an LCL sprain

  Had a teammate deal with an LCL sprain back in college, she ran BPC sub-q daily for about a month alongside TB-500 twice a week. Took close to three weeks before she said it felt noticeably more stable. PT the whole time though, that part wasn't optional for her.

• Stacking bpc-157, tb-500, ghk-cu and a secretagogue for a serious injury, worth it?

  My guys who stack everything also skip their eccentrics half the time. Correlation noted.

• Ramping into a bpc-157 and tb-500 stack or jumping straight to full dose

  My athletes just start at full dose, never had an issue.

• Over a year of knee pain and cartilage damage, does bpc even help with this

  Did they scope it or is the cartilage damage just from imaging? Makes a difference for what people usually try.

• First US injectable BPC-157 RCT, anyone got details

  What's the injury population, tendon specific or general?

• Is TB-500 legal right now

  Yeah I tell my athletes this every season. Doesn't matter how good the healing story sounds, one of them tests positive and it's over. Not worth the risk for a high schooler with college aspirations.

• Are peptides steroids?

  Genuine question since I coach high schoolers, does this show up on a standard school drug test or is that only an issue for the WADA competitive level stuff?

• Can tendons heal on their own without surgery?

  How early are you all starting eccentrics versus just sitting on isometrics? I've got a couple of my volleyball girls with patellar tendinopathy and the parents are impatient, want to know if we're wasting time doing isometrics for weeks first.

• Has anyone used TB-500 for hair loss?

  Slightly off topic but one of my volleyball girls started losing hair from stress this season and I keep wondering how much of these anecdotal wins are just people's cortisol finally chilling out once they feel like they're doing something proactive for their body.
