Peptide Critic Community

Ive read that GHK-Cu may burn more when injected in the belly fat becausen belly fat is more inflammatory. That seems to be the case for me. My first couple of injections were in the belly and the spot was red and irritated every time. Then i moved to rotating between outer and inner thighs and it was much better! Although still, maybe one out of every 10 injections, I get a bruise, it stings and/or leaves a little bump for a few hours, these locations work much better for me. To make it less irritating, I also split mine up into a 3 mg injection morning and evening (so 6 mg per day), and it's mixed with 3 mL of BAC water.

@Nuncles I had the same struggle with trying to understand. It's because some places label a peptide TB-500 because that is waht people are most familiar with but what they are really getting is TB4.

TB4 is what is in the blends that you buy.
BPC and TB4 are both daily. TB-500 is the one that is twice weekly.

I also read that the real TB-500, that can be taken 2-3 times weekly, is not the best to use for my rat's specific issue. So I have to make sure I am getting TB4, which is a daily dose, and is best for my rat's joint issue.

I have researched both of these for chronic SI Joint pain in my rat.
When I began, I bought the blend. I didn't see any relief in my rat. Then, as I learned more, I started buying them seperate because of one thing - I had no idea that TB4 and TB-500 have very differnt dosing suggestions. I started buying "TB-500" and following dosing for TB-500. I was reading that the half life for TB-500 fit better with a 3-4 times per week dose - which i could not do with a blend. The results for my rat were not better this way either.

Then I came across information that explained the difference in TB-500 and TB4. The "TB-500" I was getting was really TB4 but the company was just labeling it TB-500 because that is what people were most familiar with... Sheesh!!

After learning this, and how different the dosing suggestions are for both, I completely changed the dosing for my research and the results are night and day!

I was told BPC-157 and TB4 don't give great results with chronic joint issues but my rat has not felt this pain free since 2019.

Keeping them seperate was still best for my rat. With trial and error I found that, my rat started responding to a higher dose of TB than BPC. (I also give him GHK-Cu)
The bottom line is that there is learning curve for every research animal being tested and with trial and error you can eventually dial in to something that can work for your specific animal.
