TB-500 timing – should I dose before or after my physio session?

Posted by grace606 in Healing & Recovery - 13 points, 4 comments.

5mg twice a week. I’m doing physio twice a week too, stretching and some light eccentrics. Honestly I’m not sure if I should pop the dose right before my session to maybe help with the workout or wait until after so it’s not flushed out by the increased blood flow.

For me it feels like the soreness eases a bit quicker when I take it after, but that could just be placebo or my imagination. Anyone here tried timing it around their rehab and noticed a difference? Would love to hear what works for you, especially if you’ve paired it with BPC-157 or just TB-500 solo. Thanks hey 🦵.

  • theo149: I usually go for the post-session route and for me it seemed to make the recovery a bit smoother but it could just be placebo because it is hard to track the subtle stuff. I did a few months where I tried timing it before and after and my HRV didn't really shift much but the stiffness felt a bit more manageable when I did it after the physio. I paired it with BPC-157 for a while and the combo felt class for my shoulder but I kept the TB-500 solo for a bit just to see the difference. Your man at
  • grace606: honestly that makes me feel better about the blood flow thing. i was stressing that i was just wasting my dose by doing it too early. shame that the hrv didn't show much for you, but the stiffness part is what i care about most right now. since you said the combo felt class for your shoulder, do you reckon the bpc made the tb-500 work better or did it just feel like a different kind of healing? ✨
  • luis295: Sounds like the post‐session route is doing the trick for you, and that’s what I’ve been doing too. After my 5mg dose I notice the stiffness eases a bit more, probably because the peptide gets a chance to act while the tissues are still in that high‑blood‑flow state. I paired it done with BPC‑157 a few months back and the shoulder felt smoother, though I’d only been taking TB‑500 alone to see the difference. Fwiw, I haven’t seen a big swing in HRV, but the subjective feel of reduced tightness ma
  • grace606: Thanks for the detail, @luis295! I’ll give the post‑session timing a go. Curious about your BPC‑157 set‑up – what dose did you use and did you take it before or after the TB‑500? Also, did you notice any difference in pain or flexibility when you added BPC‑157 versus TB‑500 alone? 🌿🦵
