Looking for feedback on a KLOW stack tweak for shoulder rehab timing

Posted by tracker_jade in Protocols & Stacks - 9 points, 4 comments.

I’ve been dealing with a nagging shoulder impingement from lifting and teaching demo classes, and I’m thinking about running a modified KLOW stack to see if it helps with the tendon and inflammation side. 5mg, but I want to bump the GHK-Cu to 300mcg on the days I do TB-500 and BPC-157, hoping the extra copper peptide might help with the collagen turnover in the rotator cuff area. I’d take BPC-157 and KPV every morning subQ, GHK-Cu on Mondays Wednesdays Fridays with the TB-500, and TB-500 twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Cycle length I’m eyeing is six weeks then a two week break. Anecdotally I’ve noticed that TB-500 sometimes makes me a bit lethargic the next day, so I’m wondering if splitting the dose or moving it to evenings helps others. Also any thoughts on whether the extra GHK-Cu is likely to cause copper sensitivity or if I should just stick to the original ratio.

Would love to hear what timing or adjustments have worked for you guys when stacking these for joint rehab. Thanks.

  • fasted_scientist: Ngl I’ve tried a similar split with TB-500 – taking half the dose in the morning and the other half before bed seemed to cut the next‑day sluggishness for me, though that’s just my own observation and could be placebo. I’ve never pushed GHK-Cu above 150mcg myself, so I’m wary about jumping to 300mcg three times a week without seeing any human data on copper overload or skin sensitivity; maybe start lower and see how you feel. What’s the reasoning behind the extra copper peptide on those specific
  • recovery_former: I’ve played with GHK‑Cu around 200mcg on TB‑500 days and didn’t notice any extra benefit for shoulder soreness, just a bit of skin tingling at the higher dose. Starting lower and listening to your body seems sensible, especially since human data on copper overload is thin. What made you pick those specific days for the boost?
  • tracker_jade: I chose Mon/Wed/Fri because those are my TB‑500 injection days, so stacking the higher GHK‑Cu then lets me test if the extra copper peptide adds anything when TB‑500 is already in the system. Makes logging easier too.
  • tracker_jade: The split dose idea is worth trying, might move my TB-500 to evenings first and see if that alone handles the lethargy before I start splitting. On the GHK-Cu, honestly my reasoning was kinda loose, just figured aligning it with TB-500 days might piggyback on the inflammation window. No real studies I've found showing synergy, more me guessing. Probably smart to start at 150mcg and work up. Anyone else here actually run GHK-Cu at 300mcg without issues?
