BPC-157 / TB-500
The Wolverine stack, pairing two repair peptides that work differently.
Two repair peptides in one vial. BPC-157 works mainly where it is injected, supporting blood flow to the injury. TB-500 travels more widely and helps repair cells move to where they are needed. Together they cover more ground than either does alone.

This peptide is not FDA-approved for the uses described. Compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality, and availability varies by state and by pharmacy. Everything below describes what this peptide is studied for. None of it is a claim of proven benefit.
How it works
BPC-157 works locally
It supports blood supply to the injured area, which is usually the limiting factor in tendon and ligament healing.
TB-500 works more widely
It is studied for its role in helping repair cells migrate into damaged tissue, and it spreads further through the body than BPC-157 does.
Better tissue, not just faster closure
Research on TB-500 also points to less scarring, which matters when you care about how well tissue heals rather than just how quickly.
What the evidence says
Both are still at an early stage of research. TB-500 is based on a protein that has reached early trials for a few specific medical uses, but neither is FDA-approved, and neither has been proven for sports or soft-tissue injuries in people.
What to expect
- Weeks 1 to 2
Started alongside structured rehabilitation. This supports a plan, it is not the plan.
- Weeks 2 to 6
Where people report change. Track something measurable rather than relying on how it feels.
- Weeks 6 to 8
Course review.
Protocol
| Opening weeks | More frequent dosing, directed by your physician |
|---|---|
| After that | Reduced frequency |
| Course | 4 to 8 weeks, then reassess |
There is no established standard for this combination, so dosing is individual and should be reviewed at every check-in.
Is it right for you?
Often a good fit
- People rehabilitating a significant soft-tissue injury
- People who got partial benefit from BPC-157 alone
- People who want both local and whole-body repair support
Not a fit
- Anyone with an active cancer diagnosis
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Athletes in tested sport, where both are banned
- Anyone substituting it for proper rehabilitation
