BPC-157 + TB-500 base with GHK-Cu added at week 3, anyone running a similar timing?

Hey, just wanting to see if anyone structures their stack like this before I lock it in.

I'm currently running a BPC/TB-500 protocol for an old ankle issue that's been nagging me for close to a year. Been on BPC-157 500mcg daily (split AM/PM, 250/250) and TB-500 2.5mg twice a week for about 4 weeks now. Genuinely seems like the swelling settles faster after training, but could easily be placebo, tbh.

Now I'm thinking of layering GHK-Cu in at week 3 or 4. The thinking is to let the systemic healing get moving first, then bring GHK-Cu in for the collagen and tissue remodelling side. Standard dose 200mcg seems right from what I've read.

Question for anyone running KLOW or GLOW: do you actually notice a difference starting GHK-Cu at week 3 vs from day one? And does timing it away from the BPC shot matter, or am I overthinking that. I normally pin BPC fasted in the morning and again before bed.

Bloods all done before I started, will repeat at week 6. Any input welcome, especially if you've tweaked the timing around yourself.

  • weekendnate: I've done a BPC + TB-500 run for a nagging Achilles tendon issue that had been bugging me for months, and I brought GHK-Cu in around week 3 the same way you're describing. Hard to say if the timing made a real difference versus just running everything from day one, but subjectively the last few weeks felt like the recovery "clicked" a bit more, though that could just be cumulative time on BPC doing its thing. On the spacing question, I didn't notice any difference whether I pinned GHK-Cu right
  • greg208: Cheers for that, thats reassuring honestly. Not gonna lie ive been obsessing over the timing between pins when it probably doesnt matter that much. Reckon ill just stack the GHK-Cu in at week 3 like you did and stop second guessing the spacing. Did you run it every day or only on training days out of curiosity?
  • runner_aaron: Tbh I ran it every day, no rhyme or reason to skipping rest days. Subq in the belly area, rotated sides, zero issues. Whether that was optimal or not I honestly can't say, but I wasn't gonna skip days on something that cost me a small fortune. Did you keep it at 200mcg or scale up at any point?
  • runner_aaron: Cheers for that, solid to hear someone ran it similar. The Achilles thing is a fair comparison, those tendons are stubborn hey. I'm leaning toward pinning GHK-Cu in the PM slot then, away from the morning BPC. More for routine than anything. Did you run the full 200mcg daily or split that too? And how long did you stay on the whole stack before stopping, just curious where you called it.
