Protocol Components
Duration & Cycling: 6 to 12 Weeks
Daily (AM)
Inject BPC-157 (250mcg)
Inject near the injury site if possible.
Daily (PM) or EOD
Inject TB-500 (2.5mg split per week)
Systemic injection (belly fat) is effective.
Mechanism of Action
The theoretical basis for the 'Wolverine' stack lies in the complementary biological roles of BPC-157 and TB-500 in the wound healing cascade. Healing requires two distinct processes: the construction of a supply line (blood vessels) and the arrival of construction workers (cells).
1. BPC-157 (The Architect): Its primary mechanism is the upregulation of VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) and the modulation of the FAK-Paxillin pathway. This triggers rapid angiogenesis, ensuring that the injured tissue—which is often hypoxic—receives the oxygen and nutrients necessary for repair. It creates the 'vascular scaffolding'.
2. TB-500 (The Transporter): Acting as an actin-sequestering peptide, TB-500 upregulates intracellular actin availability. This gives fibroblasts and stem cells the mobility they need to physically migrate to the site of damage.
Synergy: When used together, they solve the 'bottlenecks' of healing. BPC-157 ensures the road is paved (blood flow), and TB-500 ensures the workers arrive (cell migration). Research suggests this combination reduces recovery time significantly more than either peptide alone because it attacks the injury from both vascular and cellular angles simultaneously.
