does it matter where you inject tb500?

Why was it so hard to find this info😅 Thank you!

Wow, finally! Thank you for clearing this up

[@barrettmelton2422]

So to clarify, you're saying that if you do a subcutaneous injection for a joint injury, the peptide won't make it to where it's most needed because you didn't inject it in the right place? the last two sentences felt unclear

[@DrewTimmermansND]

if you do a subcutaneous injection over the hip for a joint injury, the peptide will eventually get there, but this is no different than doing a subcutaneous injection in your belly. Subcutaneous injections over the area of injury does not improve how well the peptide works

@@DrewTimmermansND perfect. I'm currently taking mk 677 to help heal from a very small amount of cartilage damage on my femoral condyle.... Since I can't see how growth hormone would hurt. But I'm wondering if BPC 157 would get the job done better

[@sergionapolitano2876]

So doing a sub q in the gut will still get to the shoulder pain?

[@CharmingChowder]

@@DrewTimmermansNDthank you so much! A lot of videos confused me as to how to inject it. I thought it was supposed to be inject right where the injury is. Confusion is cleared now. 😃

What about the 100s of anecdotes of people only getting relief once they started injecting into the site of injury?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Placebo and belief effects are a real thing. I like when that happens, but I'm still going to fight the misinformation of bro science

[@Pnw208]

Can you do a video discussing the mechanism of action and the difference between tb 500 and bpc157? I haven’t seen much on tb500, you have a bunch of bpc stuff

[@DrewTimmermansND]

if you search my videos you will see a full lecture I did about 3.5 years ago on peptide therapy to optimize healing, and I go into the mechanism of actions of several different peptides. In that I talk about tb4 because we had access to it then, but now we use tb500.

[@Jamalxg]

Hi Drew! Any chance on knowing if injecting Bpc 157/ TB-500 and smoking cannabis have any effect with each other? I’d appreciate a response!

No interactions with BPC-157 and tb500 that we are aware of

Is it crazy to inject that combo into the scalp for hair loss? I'm just wondering because blood flow up there is so limited.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

hair loss isn't my specialty so I can't comment. But I'm gonna guess that there are better ways such as PRP injections to help with hair loss

[@CharmingChowder]

Doctor how often a week should we inject and what’s the dosage protocol? There are different videos with different takes on it.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

There are many different dosing protocols. Currently, we have our patients inject daily, and most are doing around 500mcg per day

[@CharmingChowder]

@@DrewTimmermansND i ordered it from your affiliated pharmacy already. And currently taking 500mg orally.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

how are you feeling since starting?

[@CharmingChowder]

@@DrewTimmermansND not sure doctor. I herniated my C6 last August which caused me to lose 97% of my strength in my right triceps and chest. Pain went away after a few weeks into injury. I used to press 110lb dumbbells. I couldn’t train for seven months straight and now only one month of training I can press 40lb and still feel like long ways to go. I have ordered TB500 and MK677 from some UGL. Hopefully they help. If not then I will hop onto steroids. I have been taking BPC157 for two weeks now. I will give it more time to see if it works. You think injectable BPC157 is more beneficial than oral?

[@CharmingChowder]

@@DrewTimmermansND hi Doc, i have been only taking it for about two weeks now. So not sure if I have seen any noticeable results. I am actually taking it because I herniated my C6 last August which caused some muscle atrophy in my right triceps and chest. I lost about 97% of my strength in my right side. Couldn’t train for seven months due to weakness and now one month into training I can press 40lb with my right arm. I couldn’t even do 10lb when I was freshly hurt. I have also ordered TB500 and Mk677 to further help with my recovery. If all these measurements don’t help then I will try steroids to help me gain my strength back. Doc, do you think it’s too late for BPC157 and TB500 to help me recover since my injury is 8 months old?

[@BoscoLocoo]

So how does the peptide know what problems to address? I have Achilles tendonopathy and i feel like if I inject into belly it will just go to a sore shoulder or another area that is hurting when I need it to go to Achilles

[@DrewTimmermansND]

The same way your body knows how to send your own stem cells to areas to heal - our bodies send out chemical signals at sites of injury

[@Quitstaringatmyhandle]

Just for devils advocate sake… is it possible that once it gets into the bloodstream, that the medicated blood could get to the location of injury quicker with a site specific injection?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

No. Once it gets injected it gets picked up predominantly by the veins which has to go back to the heart first before it gets pumped back out then going to the injured area. So injecting near site doesn't make it get there quicker.

Would BPC-157 be more effective as an injection or Capsule form in an attempt to help heal my chronic high hamstring tendinopathy that will not go away. Thanks in advance! 😊

[@PowerShack_MisFitness]

Injection all the way. Only way I'd say oral would strictly be for stomach, gastric issues, or something like Chrohns . When it comes to injuries injectable is really the only way to get that same healing effect. Although it's absorbed orally just fine, something different happens when injected either IM or SubQ. Preferably IM from my experience noticed best healing benefits for a bad shoulder injury anyways. I'd assume it would be the Same for your situation. I'd stack it with tb500 if you decide on injecting any ways since tb500 can't be taken orally and you're pinning anyways, tb500 makes bpc work even better In my experience.

[@burnlikeneon4044]

I partially tore a tendon in my elbow 5 years ago, and I’ve had nagging pain ever since. Are these peptides good for old injuries that won’t heal, or only only for new injuries that are still healing?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

they can help old injuries as well

[@dxsthetic]

27 gauge or 30? and is 1/2 needle length good ?

[@obi-wan-cod-obi6692]

any benefit to im or sub q? i both with bpc depending on how I feel

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Only difference is going to be the rate of absorption in the blood stream. Based on the animal literature, I don't think that peak blood levels matters much for efficacy, so I don't think it matters subq vs IM

[@bryanutility9609]

No science cited. If you have a muscle injury, why not inject right into the muscle?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Muscle injuries are rare compared to all the tendon, ligament, joint, and nerve injuries. So injecting into muscle for a tendon or ligament issue does nothing additional

Only tb500 , for how long can i keep it?

[@jeanclaudefaenza]

Can you take tb 500 alone for shinsplints and ligaments injuries ?

[@PowerShack_MisFitness]

Sure. It would help. Tb500 is decent for healing on its own in my experience. Its better with bpc also of course, but tb500 alone the first time I tried it on a shoulder injury definitely helped maybe 80% But got much better to 95-98% once I ran a second cycle of tb500 but with bpc157 as well. My shoulder pain was horrible on any pressing movements in the gym for like 6 months and within 2 weeks on tb500 alone it was at that 80%. I noticed relief in a day or two if I'm totally honest but it took a few weeks to relieve it to a great degree. I was amazed. Incredible stuff if you ask me. I'm gonna keep stocking up on it in case of any future injuries.
