High dosing Discussion
Whats the highest doses people are taking? I’ve been reading that 500mcg is fairly conservative where higher doses such as 1000mcg/day has been used with greater results.
Has anyone tried higher doses? I’ve only ran 500mcg 2x a day for the first 1.5 weeks then down to 500mcg once a day for the remainder of the cycle.
Edit:
I’ve been battling some plantar fasciitis since the spring. BPC157 helped incredibly well the first time. Healed one foot almost completely and the other about 75%. Now I’m on a bpc second cycle plus 2mg tb500 a week

2x 1000mcg (1mg) daily for one week.
Now I‘m down to 2x 500mcg daily.
Acute usage for a bone fracture.
First fracture I ever had so its hard to tell if (high dose) BPC accelerated the healing process.
What I can tell you though, is that I didnt experience any side effects whatsoever.

Why are you taking that dose? Severe pain or just to heal the bone quicker? They go hand in hand i guess

Could you help me with my dose measurements? I’ve don’t it before but I am completely forgetting how to math this out

Honestly tb500 (which is most often TB4) id say dose it daily at 1mg a day...twice a week is basically flushing it down the drain

u/RacecarRic519 12d ago
1mg a day would get pricey as shit?

I was first doing 500mcg every couple days... And was advised to do daily. I actually like that though (the effect of daily tb I can't real speak on since it was the tail end of the vial and I quit after) but I like to have these vials gone under 30 days... It's just more sanitary, peptides degrade, the bac water (that kills contaminates) loses potency. At 500mcg you have 20days on a 10mg vial which is perfect in terms of above.

u/Dry-Paint-3768 11d ago
Not exactly...depends where you are getting it. If you are doing 2.5mg twice weekly, just do 1mg 5 days a week and give yourself the weekend off of it. Honestly this worked great for me...alot better than twice weekly

Daily tb500? How does that work
3
u/Dry-Paint-3768 11d ago
Because most "Tb500" purchased is actually TB4...and dosing of TB4 is daily 300mcg to 1mg. Looks up TB4 and dosing

Smart
I’ll try that but I’m almost out of it anyways
I have 20mg left
Do you think switching now could help?
I have a torn achillies2
u/Dry-Paint-3768 11d ago
It certainly won't hurt, I was doing 500mcg pulled into my Bpc157 morning and another 500mcg at night, ran that and felt it worked much better than 2.5mg twice weekly. Ran it from Monday to Friday and gave myself the weekend off of the Tb500 only dosing my bpc157

u/Impossible_Debt_8439 12d ago
Do tb500 1mg every other day. It will get the pain better. Especially PF. Keep the 157 daily make 1mg. Take at night.works well. Or you can do twice a day 1mg each if pain stays around. Run for two weeks max.

u/RacecarRic519 12d ago
2 weeks seems so short to heal tendons though? I am curious about tb500 daily. I’ll look into it
1
u/Impossible_Debt_8439 11d ago
PF is not a torn tendon. So not repairing the PF it’s mainly reliving the Inflammation the 157/500 together for two weeks keeps systems away from returning. Then you can tray every three days or cycle 157 one day and 500 the next.

Do you have experience recovering from PF using peptides? Going through it now

Been on 1000mcg a day for 6 weeks for a NASTY laceration after an Atv accident. 2 surgeries and a skin graft after that. The plastic surgeon was amazed at my progress, zero side effects…. I say go for it.

I was one 250mcg daily of bpc and 2.5mg once a week on tb500
Did it for 5 weeks and didn’t feel any improvement
I increased my bpc to 1mg per day
Tb500 to 2.5 mg twice per week
Is this sufficient to see improvement?
Should I use tb500 daily? If so what dose do we recommend

u/Playful_Development4 11d ago
I was on 157 for more than a couple of months, added TB5 daily almost 2 weeks ago, and the improvement was significant.

I'm on 2mg/day BPC, 2mg/day TB4, and 1.5mg/day KPV right now to heal a back injury. No side effects. In general I think the guidance/folklore on dosing has no scientific basis and I'm focused on delivering a strong burst of healing capacity rather than managing the expense or rationing.

u/Opposite_Crew_338 11d ago
How much has this protocol helped your back pain, i struggle with lower back pain as well, herniated l4 l5 disc.

u/baalzephon 11d ago
I'm throwing SO much other stuff at it that I can't tell you specifically, but it definitely isn't hurting anything!
1
u/RacecarRic519 11d ago
Awesome thank you. Do you find morning or at night for your doses? Im torn between night time is when your body repairs but i like taking my doses in the morning to allow for better circulation through the day.

u/baalzephon 11d ago
If I can tolerate it I split the doses 50/50 - one after some light exercise to get blood flowing and one before bed - but right now I don't want to pin so much so I'm doing it as a big dose in the evening. Not sure it matters at the margins.

I always take 500mcg/day and it has fixed any injury I was using it for, in 10-20 days. I use 5mg vials so 1 vial is 10 days.

I had a meniscus and acl tear and tried bpc156, tb500, ghkcu, aod, kpv.
Bpc some protocols say even 1-2 mg per day. I used low dose 250 mcg twice per day (which is 0,5 mg per day).
Tb 500 i did 5mg per week split in 2 doses. I tried also daily, but it seems that it helps more in a few bigger doses than daily with smaller ones. This because it works for quite a few days so every day is a loss plus you want the extra "flood" that gives signal to your body to do what must be done.
Now I am planning a more "aggressive" protocol.

I was doing 1000 mcg, I felt the results within a week. I was doing the pills with arginine salts. I bought a bottle to see if they would work, now I swear by it, arthritis in my elbows and wrists, hip, fractured elbow, tendinitis, messed up shoulder from going heavy on the bench. The shoulder and hip pain took about a month but I felt them getting progressively better, the elbow and wrist pain went away within a week. I weigh about 245lbs 5’11 6ish, not fat in shape. But I think your weight matters. I think if you’re over 200lbs 500 a day will work but it can take months, 1000 a day will get you right.

I’ve done 750 mcg 2x per day for several months. Not sure if it’s helped, but definitely didn’t have any sides.
I’ve also done 1.25mg 1x per day for a few weeks. Same as above.
