Peptides BPC-157 and TB-500. Shoulder pain

[mtbraun]

10mg on the nasal spray. Whatever the solution that its in has dried out my sinuses pretty bad though. Its been a month now using the nasal spray 4x a day. pain is pretty much gone, i think i can run a mile if i had to, but my achilles rupture is still very visible.

Now I am injecting BPC157 + TB500 locally near the tendon, subcutaneously. Just started last night. Will keep you all posted here.

Huberman has been saying that there is alot of anecdotal evidence of people healing themselves with BPC 157, including olympians. I am leaning towards snake oil at this point, at least for my injury, because my injury is still visibly there. Pain however is nearly gone so its doing something. I just hope this experimenting doesnt come at the cost of harm. Huberman himself has said its very safe. Either way, ill let you all know what i find.

I think the part of Olympians using BPC-157 is highly unlikely as it is on the WADA list. That assumes integrity in the process (sorry, my cynical self is overtaking).

What dosages are you injecting of the BPC157/TB500 combo? The blends are confusing to me (specifically, does 500mcg of “blend” equate to 250mcg of each peptide?

Im closer to 330mcg. I weigh a bit more than most, so for my bodyweight i think 300mcg is what is usually recommended.

I’m curious how you guys are interpreting Huberman saying BPC157 is safe as it’s been placed on the do not compound list by the FDA? His last pod specifically on peptides basically messaged that because it’s on that list that he recommended staying away from the “grey/dark grey” market. I’m not arguing it’s efficacy but the way I interpreted it was that PDA was still allowed to be compounded and has the same result. Just curious if I’m absorbing old info.

This is true, the "dark grey market" really is dicey. This place i got it from, I'm just trusting them on faith that im not injecting saltwater into my skin. The website has good reviews however which put my mind at ease.

Day 2 of injecting BPC-157 and TB500 subcutaneously right next to my achilles- the swelling/rupture bump has gone down alot, this is really nuts, its probably 50% smaller. Still there however, and there is a dull ache, but the rupture looks to be smoothing out.

I am having a much better experience with the needle than the nasal spray. With the nasal spray i was finding it hard to wake up in the mornings, i felt like i needed more rest and my sinuses were drying out. With the injection, its a diabetic needle, it hardly hurts, just make sure all surfaces are clean. So far so good. I will keep you all posted.

The reasons for some peptides being blacklisted (like BPC-157) and others allowed is very unclear. Likely influenced by big pharma's attempts to create IP and/or some toxic stew they can shill to the uninformed.

To be clear, Huberman was speaking to the source of the peptide, not the efficacy. He's right in urging caution around "research" based suppliers. Also see Peter Attia and Craig Koniver for a good perspective on peptides from an actual clinician.

I'm hopeful under the new administration BPC and other useful peptides will be allowed to be compounded.

PDA and BPC-157 are both comprised of 15 amino acids, but their structure is different. PDA and CJC-1295 are two good alternatives to BPC-157.

Right. I’m not arguing the efficacy. It seems pretty clear, but finding a reliable source without the lipid polysaccharides is what seems to be the challenge
