BPC-157 & TB-500 & GHK-Cu vs MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
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 →MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
MK-677, also known as Ibutamoren, is an orally active growth hormone secretagogue. Unlike peptides, it can be taken orally and has a long half-life, providing 24-hour GH elevation.

| Aspect | BPC-157 & TB-500 & GHK-Cu | MK-677 (Ibutamoren) |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Acts as a potent, selective agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). Increases GH and IGF-1 levels without affecting cortisol. Mimics ghrelin's GH-releasing effects. |
| 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. | Typical dosing: 10-25mg taken orally once daily. Often taken at night due to sleep benefits and appetite increase. |
| 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. | Oral administration (capsule or liquid). Can be taken with or without food. Long half-life allows once-daily dosing. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Possible injection site irritation, mild fatigue, or temporary skin discoloration with GHK-Cu. | Increased appetite and water retention are most common. May cause lethargy, vivid dreams, and mild numbness. Can affect blood glucose and insulin sensitivity. |
