BPC-157 & TB-500 vs GHRP-2
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
BPC-157 & TB-500
Known as the 'Wolverine Stack,' this popular combination pairs two powerful healing peptides. BPC-157 and TB-500 work synergistically to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from injuries.

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 (GHRP-2) is considered one of the most potent GHRPs available. It provides strong GH release with moderate hunger increase compared to GHRP-6.

| Aspect | BPC-157 & TB-500 | GHRP-2 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | BPC-157 upregulates growth factor expression and promotes angiogenesis, while TB-500 promotes cell migration and differentiation through actin regulation. Together, they enhance wound healing, reduce scar tissue formation, and support musculoskeletal recovery through complementary pathways. | Binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) to stimulate GH release from the pituitary. Also has some direct effects on the hypothalamus. Causes less appetite increase than GHRP-6. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical research protocols: BPC-157 at 250-500mcg daily combined with TB-500 at 2-2.5mg twice weekly during loading phase, then 2mg every 2 weeks for maintenance. | Typical dosing: 100-300mcg administered 2-3 times daily. Often stacked with GHRH peptides for enhanced GH release. |
| Administration | Both peptides administered via subcutaneous injection. Some protocols suggest injecting near injury sites for localized effects. Can be injected separately or as a pre-mixed blend. | Subcutaneous injection on an empty stomach. Can be used at bedtime to enhance natural GH pulse during sleep. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. May include mild nausea, temporary fatigue, headache, or localized irritation at injection sites. | Moderate hunger increase, water retention, potential prolactin and cortisol elevation (less than GHRP-6), tingling sensations. |
