BPC-157 & TB-500 & GHK-Cu vs Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
BPC-157 & TB-500 & GHK-Cu
The complete healing triad combining the Wolverine Stack with GHK-Cu (copper peptide) for comprehensive tissue repair. This blend addresses healing at multiple levels: cellular repair, collagen synthesis, and tissue regeneration.
Full details →Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Human Growth Hormone (somatropin) is a 191-amino acid protein identical to naturally produced GH. FDA-approved for growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, and other conditions. Widely used off-label for anti-aging and performance.

| Aspect | BPC-157 & TB-500 & GHK-Cu | Human Growth Hormone (HGH) |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis and growth factor expression. TB-500 enhances cell migration and reduces inflammation. GHK-Cu activates genes involved in tissue remodeling, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and provides antioxidant protection. Together they support healing from multiple angles. | Binds to GH receptors throughout the body, stimulating IGF-1 production in the liver. Promotes protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and cellular regeneration across multiple tissues. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical protocol: BPC-157 250-500mcg daily, TB-500 2-2.5mg twice weekly, GHK-Cu 1-2mg daily or applied topically for skin applications. | Medical: 0.1-0.3mg/kg/week divided into daily doses. Anti-aging: 1-2 IU daily. Performance: 2-6 IU daily, sometimes higher. |
| Administration | BPC-157 and TB-500 via subcutaneous injection. GHK-Cu can be injected subcutaneously or used topically depending on the target area. Systemic and local administration may be combined. | Subcutaneous injection, preferably at night to mimic natural pulsatile release. Rotate injection sites. Store refrigerated. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Possible injection site irritation, mild fatigue, or temporary skin discoloration with GHK-Cu. | Joint pain, water retention, carpal tunnel syndrome, potential insulin resistance, and acromegaly features with long-term high doses. |
