tweaking a FGL‑GHK‑Cu combo for brain‑body recovery – need dosing feedback

Posted by hank698 in Protocols & Stacks - 5 points, 4 comments.

hey folks, not gonna lie i’ve been running a hybrid stack for a few months now trying to boost both my neuroplasticity and post‑workout healing. i started with fgl at about 2 mg/kg every other day, reconstituted in sterile water (1 ml per mg) and inject subcut into the thigh. alongside that i added gkh‑cu 200 mcg daily, mixed in bacteriostatic water (0.5 ml per 200 mcg) and inject intramuscular in the deltoid. i’m doing the fgl in the morning, gkh‑cu right after my first coffee, and i keep a light schedule of bpc‑157 500 mcg daily for gut and tendon support, plus tb‑500 2.5 mg twice a week for systemic repair.

the cycle length i’m aiming for is 6 weeks on, 2 weeks off, but i’m not sure if the every‑other‑day fgl is optimal when i’m also getting daily gkh‑cu. i’ve noticed better focus during my training sessions and quicker joint soreness fade, but sometimes i get a mild flushing at the injection site and a bit of fatigue on the days i combine all three peptides.

anyone tried a similar neuro‑regenerative + healing blend? thoughts on adjusting the fgl frequency, maybe splitting the dose, or timing the gkh‑cu separate from the bpc‑157 to cut the flushing? also open to suggestions on cycle length or adding a low dose kpv for inflammation.

• aspiring_codes: I’ve played around with a similar mix a while back – FGL every other day plus GHK‑Cu daily and a low dose of BPC‑157 for gut support. For me the flushing showed up most when I injected GHK‑Cu right after BPC‑157 in the same session, so I started spacing them a few hours apart (GHK‑Cu in the morning, BPC‑157 later in the day) and the skin reaction eased up a bit. I also noticed that taking FGL in the morning and saving GHK‑Cu for after my workout seemed to cut the afternoon fatigue I was getting,
• amber464: YeahI saw the same flush when I stacked them together. Moving GHK‑Cu to mid‑morning and BPC‑157 to evening cut the redness for me. Also pushing FGL earlier and GHK‑Cu post‑workout seemed to smooth out the afternoon dip, though hard to say if it's real.
• hank698: appreciate the timing tweak, mate. i tried moving the gkh‑cu to mid‑morning like you said and the flush dropped off pretty quick – probably less overlap with the fgl spike. i also gave the bpc‑157 a night slot and felt a bit better sleep, but still notice a small afternoon slump when i keep the fgl at 7am. any thoughts on pulling the fgl back to pre‑workout instead of early morning?
• hank698: cheers mate, i reckon the spacing idea is worth a crack since i've been hitting the ghk-cu right after coffee and the bpc-157 shortly after. not gonna lie i didnt think the timing of the two would cause the flushing but your experience makes sense. i'm still curious about that afternoon fatigue though... do you reckon moving ghk-cu to post-workout would affect the joint recovery as much as doing it in the morning? i'm keen to optimise this before my next 6 week block...
