A standard BPC-157 and TB-500 protocol is often used in regenerative medicine and sports recovery due to their synergistic effects in promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing. Here’s a typical dosing regimen for therapeutic purposes:
BPC-157 Protocol
- Dosage: 200-500 mcg per day
- Administration: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection close to the injury site is preferred, although oral forms are available but typically considered less effective.
- Duration: Treatment can last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity of the injury and the patient's response. For chronic conditions, longer cycles may be used under medical supervision.
TB-500 Protocol
- Dosage: 2-5 mg per week, typically split into two doses.
- Administration: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. TB-500 has systemic effects, so injections do not need to be near the injury site.
- Duration: The typical cycle lasts 4 to 6 weeks, followed by a maintenance phase (e.g., 2 mg per week) if necessary, to continue therapeutic benefits.
Combination Use (BPC-157 + TB-500)
When used together, BPC-157 and TB-500 are often administered concurrently to maximize healing. This combination is effective for tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries:
- BPC-157: 200-500 mcg daily
- TB-500: 2-5 mg per week, split into two doses
- Duration: 4-6 weeks, depending on the condition being treated.
Always ensure proper reconstitution with bacteriostatic water and follow aseptic techniques. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting these peptides, especially to monitor the response and adjust the dosing accordingly.
