Thread: Using BPC-157 and TB-500

Both are good healing peptides, and relatively inexpensive. My wife and I have used both for general shoulder pain, tendon pains etc. For us, they work.
For the herniated disk, I'm not sure, due to the nature and cause. They may help the herniated disk with anti-inflammatory properties.
I'm not a DR. nor have I played on TV. This is just what we have done to ourselves, only.
Typically the BP-157 and the TB-500 will come in 5mg per vial. Pay attention they sell in 10mg as well.
You will need to reconstitute from the sterile dry powder "puck" into an injectable liquid. To do this you will need to purchase a vial of Bacteriostatic (sterile) (BAC) water. It will come typically in a 30ml vial for $4.00 - $10.00 depending on your source. You will need a sterile syringe to draw the bacteriostatic water, and to inject it into the peptide vial.
Alcohol pads, wipe the rubber stopper tops each with a separate alcohol wipe. Draw 1ml BAC water, hold the peptide vial upright, or an upright angle. penetrate the rubber stopper of the peptide vial, and angle the needle to the inside glass wall above the dried puck. If a vacuum has not sucked the 1ml BAC water in on its own, slowly push the plunger and let the BAC water rundown and into the puck. It will dissolve mostly as soon as the water hits the puck. 1ml BAC water should give you, if injected into a 5mg peptide 500 mcg or micrograms per IU of reconstituted peptide. Put the needle cap on the syringe. Discard it safely. Take the peptide vial and holding it upright roll it back and forth in your fingers. Hold it up to light, if it is, or when it is dissolved, you are ready to prepare to inject.
You will need insulin syringes 27 gauge to 30 gauge X 1/2 or 5/16 long. Wipe the stopper cap of your peptide vial with a new alcohol pad again. Take an insulin syringe, draw in 1 IU of air into the syringe. Turn your peptide vial upside down. Puncture the very center of the rubber stopper. Push the air into the vial. Draw 1 IU of peptide. Cap the syringe. BPC-157 is systemic, as in you can inject it sub cutaneous anywhere you might feel comfortable to inject. TB-500 is "said to be" more point of injury or as close as practical to the point of injury. Take a new alcohol wipe and sterilize an injection area, for BPC-157 typically around the stomach area. Let the alcohol dry. Pull the cap off the syringe and (hygienically) hold it in one hand, pull a section of belly skin up, push the needle in on an angle. I can feel when it has penetrated the skin area into the sub q fat area. Push the plunger. If it goes, you're in. If it does not, you're not and you will need to pull back a little and go in on a little less angle. It will go if you are in. For the TB-500 I don't worry so much as far as sub q. I just poke it in an area safe and close to the area of injury, and push. Sterility and Hygiene are the most important part of the process.
A typical dosage would be 1 IU daily until the area of injury has improved. Some use one or both peptides in a maintenance health regime via an IU of one or both per week.
