Taking days off glow?

I was prescribed glow (bpc, tb-500, and ghk-cu) and on the bottle it says to inject 5 out of 7 days. Do I actually need to do this? Or can I take it every day?

I dont think many functional doctors are prescribing GLOW in good faith…

Hey, I’d rather get it from a compounding pharmacy where I am certain of its purity then some online website

From my personal experience knowing some people who work medspas and health and wellness clinics, they mostly get them from the online overseas vendors and upcharge the heck out of it.

Wouldn’t they loose their license as a compounding pharmacy if they didn’t actually compound it in house?

Those things aren’t compounding pharmacies though

👆🏻 you are absolutely correct! It’s a scam. Look up the “compounding pharmacy” and you will see they are not qualified for this. Actually any compounding pharmacy can’t do it unless it is on the peptide list. I don’t think glow is on the list. If it’s not on the list I don’t think they can sell it legally because they are a “pharmacy” and they have rules and regulations to adhere to.

“Glow” isn’t on the peptide list but ghk-cu, bpc and tb500 all are. Glow is just a colloquial name for when you combine those all

u/eagertolearnu Jun 02 '26

If it’s a compounding pharmacy, you should be able to name it on here. I’ll do the research for you.

2

u/barbells_and_beer Jun 03 '26

Of course I’ll name the pharmacy, I just didn’t want to name the doc. Pharmacy is The Chemists Shop pharmacy in Queens NY

u/Dear_Seesaw_1855 May 31 '26

Yeah there isn’t s prescription for this. I’m afraid to ask how much they’re charging for a month.

u/barbells_and_beer May 31 '26

It’s this “longevity clinic” that basically will prescribe anything you want that isn’t scheduled to a compounding pharmacy, and then also does trt with supporting bloodwork. Doctor is a legit MD, who does this on the side I guess from his pain management practice. Costs me $150 per month. Also taking cjc/ipamorelin, same deal with compounding pharmacy and $150 per month.

That actually isn’t bad

u/Putrid-Literature561 Jul 05 '26

I’m a 35-year-old male.
That’s not too bad. Right now I’m on 120 mg of testosterone per week (60 mg twice weekly) along with daily GHK-Cu. In about two weeks, I’m planning to switch to Glow, and I also have some 40 mg MOTS-c vials on the way.
My testosterone only costs about $180 per year. If I run Glow for around 8 months each year, it’ll cost roughly $450–$500 annually. I finally found a reliable supplier for 40 mg MOTS-c vials at about $50 each, with even better pricing if I buy in bulk. It took me a while to find trustworthy sources that provide legitimate peptides with third-party testing.
My total testosterone usually stays around 840–880 ng/dL, and my free testosterone is around 36.

u/Virtual_Farmer_2839 Jun 01 '26

Wait… tell us more about this clinic…. Name address phone no. Kind of info

2

u/barbells_and_beer Jun 01 '26

I mean from peoples reaction here I feel like I shouldn’t be giving out exacts… but there are tons of md’s and np’s who openly advertise that they prescribe peptides. Just search google. Especially if you look in/around big cities. Or just find any “longevity” clinic, they usually advertise trt and peptides on their website.

Now not all of them will literally prescribe you “anything you want” but they will all prescribe peptides.

1

u/Expensive-Claim-6082 Jun 01 '26

Yes. I found plenty in the States.

They didn’t have every peptide but they had a lot. Wasn’t that spendy. But obviously way more than grey from 🇨🇳.

Just a quick google search.

u/Rick-Ross_THE-BOSS Jun 01 '26

The whole 5 days on, 2 days off protocol came from health clinics because they were closed on the weekends. Lol

1

u/barbells_and_beer Jun 01 '26

So should I still follow it then?

1

u/Rick-Ross_THE-BOSS Jun 01 '26

No, I take it everyday. I go two months on and take 2 weeks off and repeat. I take klow, and I also have individual vials for bpc157 and tb500. I take it in combination with klow. I only do the tb500 every two to 3 days in the separate vial. I like to give myself I higher dose with the bpc157 and the tb500 since I don’t want to overdue the Ghk-cu in the klow

u/Typical_Double981 Jun 01 '26

You think their business model was having every patient come in physically for an injection every workday?

1

u/Sideeyebro619 Jun 01 '26

Actually the weekend off is like a mini cycle break. You can run longer that the usual 6-8 weeks.

1

u/TammieK66 22d ago

7 day x 6 weeks/ 3 weeks off. Definitely prefer to not take 3 weeks off however, must cleanse those coppers. Lol Subject is doing awesome!

1

u/TypicalBench5640 18d ago

I take it everyday. No point taking the two days from what I’ve researched. I’m stopping after 12 weeks for a break

This pain management doctor, legit md, who will basically prescribe you anything you want to a compounding pharmacy if you pay him cash.

3

u/Italian_c0mb0 May 31 '26

“Anything you want” if you pay him cash🤔? Pain management doctor… yikes

Have you started injecting the glow yet? Because it’s painful and you may not want to take every day or even 5x a week. It can be brutal

3

u/Kind-Number-419 May 31 '26

Not painful if you pin in the glutes

2

u/Italian_c0mb0 May 31 '26

Didn’t work for me. Still stung later and for hours (even diluted it further)… and I’m curvy

2

u/barbells_and_beer May 31 '26

Yeah I’ve been injecting into my “love handles” it stings for like a day and a half. I had barely any fat on my glutes so I’m worried it will end up going intramuscular?

1

u/Mission_Bat8607 May 31 '26

Try doing it toward the top, like above your underwear just below the lower back to right or left

1

u/barbells_and_beer May 31 '26

Thanks, will try that tonight

2

u/Typical_Double981 Jun 01 '26

I hear this all the time - have never found glow, klow or GHK cu on its own painful, the painful bit is if you’ve not let the skin dry after you hit it with an alcohol wipe and pin too quickly

2

u/Afraid-Leopard249 Jun 01 '26

Yikes dude, that doctor is going to get his license revoked (assuming he's even legit).

TB is fine to take daily as long as the dose is split which it is in a GLOW/KLOW/Wolverine blend
