| Aspect | BPC-157 & TB-500 | TB-500 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | TB-500 promotes cell migration and differentiation, regulates actin (a cell-building protein), and reduces inflammation. It supports the formation of new blood vessels and wound healing. |
| 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. | Research protocols typically use 2-2.5mg twice weekly during the loading phase, followed by maintenance dosing of 2mg every 2 weeks. |
| 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. | Administered via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Some protocols suggest injection near injury sites. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. May include mild nausea, temporary fatigue, headache, or localized irritation at injection sites. | May cause temporary fatigue, headache, or localized irritation at injection sites. |
