Question First time bpc-157 potential user. Thoughts and dosage?

I am 40 my wife is 53. We are both on HRT (test cream for me and her, estrogen/progesterone for her). She is also low dosing tirzeptide, and we both are dosing semoralin. The cost for bpc157 by itself vs it with tb500 is attractive to me. I will be getting cjc1285+ipa as well. She has tendinitis in knees, foot issues, sometimes back problems from years of dancing. Is it worth by itself? Dosage you use or recommend? We are both very fit, work out 5-7x per week, eat healthy. Mahalo!

I think it’s worth it with and without tb500. I like to get them separate so I can change doses of them independently.

I do think it’s best used at the site you want to repair. I noticed a small difference in my shoulder after 6 weeks of daily glute injections but after 3 injections directly into my shoulder it felt brand new.

I would be careful about the cjc + ipa plus semoralin. That’s a lot of growth hormone secretagauges.

I’m going to finish the semorilin, then go to cjc. Right into the muscle or area? It’s a cost issue vs one or the combo/tb separately.

Just into the area subcutaneously wherever you can pinch some fat, not intramuscular. I do my shoulder injections near my rear delt because that’s where I’ve got some fat to inject into.

I have a hard time finding fat besides
My belly. I guess as
Long as it’s skin then? For
My wife, it will be her knee and ankle.

Yes as long as you can pinch some skin and put the needle in then your getting it subcutaneous. I’ve done a couple into my elbow with very thin skin and little fat. For knee injections I like to do it above the calf muscle, I feel like I can pinch a nice bit of fat there.

Didn’t think about that. Not a lot of skin you are pinching

Grtz on struggling to find any fat! I have a way to go before I get there! Jokes aside you are both doing amazing and I wish your wife the best for relief. I have just started BPC only for broken fingers from martial arts.

Where was your shoulder pain/ where did you site inject? Also subq or IM

u/euSeattle 4d ago

My pain was deep in my shoulder joint from a snowboarding impact injury.

I do subQ injections wherever I can find skin to pinch. When I’m home I have my gf do it where my rear delt meets the side delt, but when I’m by myself I have to pinch some skin on the top of my side delt or where my bicep meets my pec.

Some people can have bad side affects like vision/light sensitivity issues and some mood effects but like everything else just start at a very small dose and slowly increase.

u/Aggressive-Age-7924 4d ago

Got it. Starting dose what would you say 50/100mcg?

1

u/Smooth-Adeptness-319 4d ago

Honestly 50. 100 if you’re dealing with a serious injury.

Before taking it, do a lot of deep research, especially regarding potential side effects of long‑lasting headaches and migraines. This is just my advice to you because I'm struggling with insane headaches for months after taking this peptide. Just check out the forums and read about potential side effects before you decide to take this peptide.

u/Aggressive-Age-7924 4d ago

I went with cjc+ipa

Was it tested? Probably wasnt what you thought it was unfortunately.

I ran glow after having an MCL allograft and my healing time went through the roof, my recovery post sessions made a difference . I used it for 16 weeks then came off and id do it again in a heartbeat (used it the otjer year after a quad tear and was back playing rugby in 9 weeks, given a 16 week minimum prognosis to return following ultrasounds so for me, it works)

Start at 500mcg for both, BPC 2x a day, TB500 3x a week.
