SCHEDULE GUIDE

What does the TB-500, GHK-Cu and BPC-157 protocol include?

This protocol pairs three peptides across a three-phase, 8-week schedule and gives each one a distinct job: TB-500 and BPC-157 work together on systemic tissue repair — covering gut, tendon, muscle, and joint — while GHK-Cu builds new collagen to support visibly healthier skin and hair. The phases step GHK-Cu up gradually while TB-500 and BPC-157 hold steady, so the skin-focused compound has room to ramp toward full effect once the repair foundation is in place.

These role labels describe how the stack is structured, not a guarantee of outcome. Review the safety information for each peptide individually before starting.

Overview

The original GLOW blend — one of the most popular recovery stacks online. BPC-157 and TB-500 work together to accelerate systemic tissue repair across gut, tendon, muscle, and joint, while GHK-Cu rebuilds collagen for visibly healthier skin and hair. Heal from the inside out, and show it on the outside.

Stack Synergy

TB-500 and BPC-157 form the repair foundation of this stack — TB-500 is associated with cell migration that helps repair cells reach injured or stressed tissue faster, while BPC-157 is associated with angiogenesis and gut-brain-axis support that keeps the underlying healing environment stable. This is the same pairing behind the popular "Wolverine Stack," here used as the systemic base layer rather than the headline focus. GHK-Cu is added specifically for the skin and collagen side of the equation. It's a copper-binding peptide associated with stimulating collagen and elastin production, which is why it's positioned as the compound doing the visible "glow" work — firmer, more even-looking skin and stronger hair — on top of the internal repair TB-500 and BPC-157 are already supporting. The idea behind the stack is that healing from the inside sets up better results on the outside, rather than treating skin appearance as a separate, unrelated goal.

Benefits

› Support for systemic tissue repair across gut, tendon, muscle, and joint
› Collagen support for firmer, healthier-looking skin
› Support for stronger, healthier hair
› Calms inflammation that can affect skin appearance
› Combines internal repair with visible outward results
› Beginner-friendly structure with a gradual dose ramp
› One of the most established and widely used recovery-and-skin combinations

Phase Timeline

Initiation

Days 1–7 None
Introduces all three peptides together at conservative amounts to establish the repair foundation before GHK-Cu ramps up.

Take all three peptides in the morning, 5 days a week. Track skin, hair, and general recovery as a baseline.

TB-500
2-5 mg per week, split into 2 injections twice_weekly
GHK-Cu
Topical: as directed; Injectable: 1-2 mg daily daily
BPC-157
250 mcg daily (once or twice)

Therapeutic Renewal

Days 8–14 None
GHK-Cu steps up to build on the repair foundation from Phase 1, while TB-500 and BPC-157 hold steady.

Continue the same morning schedule. Watch for any skin sensitivity as the GHK-Cu amount increases.

TB-500
2-5 mg per week, split into 2 injections twice_weekly
GHK-Cu
Topical: as directed; Injectable: 1-2 mg daily daily
BPC-157
250 mcg daily (once or twice)

Consolidation & Radiance

Days 15–56 2-day hold at the end of the phase
GHK-Cu reaches its full working amount for the remainder of the cycle while TB-500 and BPC-157 stay unchanged, consolidating both repair and skin gains.

Maintain the schedule through day 56, then hold for 2 days before deciding whether to repeat, adjust, or stop the cycle.

Who Is This For

Beginner Level

This protocol is built for beginners, which makes it approachable if you're new to peptide stacking but want more than a single-purpose peptide. It suits people looking to combine general tissue recovery with visible skin and hair improvements — think overuse recovery, general wear-and-tear healing, or simply wanting firmer skin and stronger hair alongside internal repair. It's a good starting point if your goals span both "feel better" and "look better" rather than one or the other. It's not intended to replace dermatological treatment for diagnosed skin conditions or medical care for an active injury.

More questions about this schedule

How is GLOW different from the Wolverine Stack?

GLOW builds on the same TB-500 + BPC-157 repair pairing used in the Wolverine Stack but adds GHK-Cu specifically for collagen, skin, and hair support.

When will I start noticing changes in my skin?

Skin and collagen changes tend to build gradually, which is why GHK-Cu ramps up across all three phases rather than starting at full strength.

Can I combine GLOW with Deep Repair?

Both include TB-500 and BPC-157, so check for overlapping dosing before running the two protocols together rather than assuming they simply add up.

Is this protocol beginner-friendly if I've never used peptides before?

Yes — it's labeled Beginner Friendly, though you should still review each peptide's safety information individually since it's a three-peptide combination.

What should I expect in the final phase?

Consolidation & Radiance is the longest phase and holds GHK-Cu at its full amount, giving the skin and hair benefits time to build while repair continues.

How do I know if it's working?

Most people track skin texture, hair condition, and general recovery informally over the 8 weeks, since this protocol doesn't include a built-in outcome tracker beyond what you log yourself.
