💎 glow stack log · BPC + TB-500 + GHK-Cu running protocol
this is the heaviest stack i've ever run. i picked it up after reading peptide-forum posts about 'wolverine-style tissue repair' and realized the same protocol does serious things for skin if u dose for skin not for joints. running log starts 2026-03-15, currently in week 10 ✨
the stack
what the stack does together
BPC-157 upregulates VEGF-A and modulates the nitric-oxide pathway · tissue healing.
TB-500 (thymosin beta-4 fragment) sequesters G-actin and recruits stem cells to injury sites · systemic recovery.
GHK-Cu drives collagen + elastin synthesis · skin renewal.
stacking them = parallel paths · not redundant. each one hits a different node in the wound-healing cascade.
results at week 10
scar i had on my elbow since high school · 70% lighter.
skin texture across cheeks · noticeably more uniform under direct light.
energy + recovery from workouts · this isn't a 'skin' effect but i can't unsee it.
no adverse effects. mild redness at injection sites for an hour, normal.
quick answers
isn't this overkill for skin?
yes. but it's not just for skin · it's recovery + skin. if u're already running BPC for joints, adding GHK-Cu costs basically nothing and the skin effect is bonus.
what's the cheapest single peptide to start with?
GHK-Cu. one vial, low dose, immediate skin feedback. then add BPC if u want recovery. TB-500 last because it's the most expensive.
is this safe to run continuously?
i cycle 12 weeks on, 4 weeks off. the wolverine forum protocols run 4-6 weeks at higher doses · i go lower and longer.
