Feedback on my current morning stack, timing question mostly

Posted by reid664 in Protocols & Stacks - 3 points, 4 comments.

Running this for about 5 weeks now. Morning fasted: GHK-Cu 200mcg subq, BPC-157 500mcg subq, KPV 500mcg subq. TB-500 2.5mg I split into two shots on Mon/Thu. All reconstituted with bac water, 5mg TB-500 vial took 2ml so each Mon/Thu dose is 1ml on the insulin pin.

Felt better within the first week or so, less morning stiffness, sleep seemed deeper. Could be placebo lah but steady enough that I am not going to stop. Only weird thing is some injection site stinging on the GHK-Cu days, nothing major.

Question is mostly about timing and splitting. Is it better to stack all three GHK-Cu, BPC, KPV in one pin in the morning, or spread them out? Right now I do them separately which means three sticks before breakfast. Also wondering if I should move KPV to night since it seems more anti-inflammatory in nature, or am I overthinking the timing.

Anyone running something similar and noticed a difference when they changed the schedule?

  • practicalpaul: Honestly splitting them out is fine imo, three subq sticks take like 90 seconds total if you do them back to back and rotate sites. Whether combining in one pin changes anything meaningfully I cannot say from my own runs, I keep them separate just so I can tell which one stings or leaves a mark. On KPV timing, I tried it at night for a couple weeks and did not notice a clear shift versus morning, but I am a pretty deep sleeper already so the bar is high. If morning stiffness is your main thing,
  • reid664: The "tell which one stings" reason is actually a lah, I had not thought about it that way. Might just stick with separate pins then. And fair enough on the KPV night thing, if you did not notice much difference I probably should not overthink it. My morning stiffness has eased enough that I will just leave the timing as-is. Thanks for the input.
  • derek_recovery: Cheers, that matches what I was thinking fwiw. Rotating sites is sound, I do stomach one day, thigh the next and it stops the soreness building up. The GHK sting is grand, goes after a minute anyway. Did you ever notice any difference between morning and evening KPV for gut stuff specifically? That is the angle I am curious about since I have a bit of IBS noise.
  • reid664: Honestly I have not done that comparison myself, still doing morning fasted for everything. My gut was not the main issue so I cannot speak to IBS stuff directly. I was mainly guessing about the anti-inflammatory angle being better at night, not based on any real experiment. If you try it let me know, I am curious whether the timing actually moves the needle for gut symptoms.
