Glow Stack

Why Stack These Three

The Glow Stack addresses tissue regeneration from three different angles. Each peptide handles a distinct phase of the repair cascade, and stacking them creates coverage that no single compound achieves alone.

Peptide	What It Does	Role in the Stack
BPC-157	Promotes angiogenesis, reduces inflammation, protects cells from damage	Anti-inflammatory foundation — shields tissue while the other two rebuild
TB-500	Regulates actin for cell migration, reduces fibrosis and scar tissue	Cell traffic control — ensures repair cells reach the right place without excess scarring
GHK-Cu	Stimulates collagen I and III, increases elastin and GAGs, modulates 4,000+ genes	Matrix builder — produces the structural proteins that make skin firm, elastic, and resilient

The synergy: BPC-157 handles acute inflammation and vascular repair. TB-500 mobilizes the cellular workforce and prevents fibrotic scarring. GHK-Cu activates the extracellular matrix rebuilding pathways and resets gene expression toward healthier, younger patterns. Together, they address inflammation, synthesis, migration, and gene regulation simultaneously.

The GHK-Cu Difference

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is the compound that makes this stack about more than just healing. It’s a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex first isolated from human plasma in 1973. Serum levels average ~200 ng/mL at age 20 and drop to ~80 ng/mL by age 60 — a 60% decline that correlates with visible aging and slower healing.

What the research shows:

• Gene expression: Influences over 4,000 human genes, resetting expression patterns toward those of younger, healthier tissue
• Collagen synthesis: Increases collagen production by up to 70% in laboratory studies. Stimulates types I and III collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans
• Skin firmness: Clinical studies measured 20–30% improvement in skin firmness after 12 weeks. GHK-Cu produced a 31.6% reduction in wrinkle volume, outperforming Matrixyl 3000
• Wound healing: 40–50% acceleration of wound closure vs. control treatments
• Antioxidant activity: Reduces reactive oxygen species by ~50%. Hydroxyl radical scavenging exceeds glutathione

Full Protocol

Individual Vials (Recommended for First Cycle)

Compound	Daily Dose	Frequency	Route
BPC-157	250–500 mcg	Once daily	Subcutaneous, abdomen or near target area
TB-500	500–750 mcg	Once daily, or 2.0 mg twice weekly	Subcutaneous, abdomen
GHK-Cu	1,000–2,000 mcg	Once daily, 5 days/week (Mon–Fri)	Subcutaneous, abdomen

Titration schedule:

• Weeks 1–2: Start at the lower end of each range. BPC-157 250 mcg, TB-500 500 mcg, GHK-Cu 1,000 mcg. Assess tolerance.
• Weeks 3+: Increase to full dose if no issues. BPC-157 500 mcg, TB-500 750 mcg, GHK-Cu 2,000 mcg.

Pre-Blended GLOW Vial (Convenient Option)

Pre-blended vials (typically 70 mg total) use a 5:1:1 ratio:

Compound	Per Injection
GHK-Cu	~1,700 mcg
TB-500	~330 mcg
BPC-157	~330 mcg
Total	~2,330 mcg

Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water for ~23.3 mg/mL concentration. Inject 10 units (0.10 mL) per day on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Cycle Structure

• Cycle length: 8–12 weeks on individual vials. 4 weeks on the pre-blended vial (repeat for 2–3 cycles).
• Rest period: 4 weeks off between cycles. Essential for receptor sensitivity and to prevent copper accumulation from GHK-Cu.
• Injection timing: Morning or evening — consistency matters more than time of day. All three can be injected in the same session.
• Injection sites: Abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate systematically with 1–2 inch spacing.

Who This Stack Is For

• Skin health focus — firmness, elasticity, texture improvement
• Anti-aging biohackers — collagen and elastin synthesis support, gene-level rejuvenation
• Post-procedure recovery — after microneedling, PRP, or cosmetic procedures
• Athletes with soft tissue injuries — all the healing of the Wolverine Stack plus skin repair
• Slow healers — anyone noticing age-related decline in wound healing or recovery

Results Timeline

Weeks 1–2: Early Signals

• Reduced inflammation at injury sites (BPC-157)
• Improved skin hydration and texture (GHK-Cu)
• Better sleep quality (commonly reported)

Weeks 3–6: Visible Changes

• Noticeable improvement in skin firmness and elasticity
• Wound healing acceleration
• Reduced joint stiffness and pain
• Hair and nail quality improvements

Weeks 8–12: Deep Remodeling

• Measurable increase in collagen density
• Wrinkle reduction (especially fine lines)
• Structural tissue repair completing
• Effects from GHK-Cu persist 2–4 months post-cycle

Safety

Side Effects

Generally mild and transient:

• Injection-site redness or itching (most common, resolves within hours)
• Transient fatigue or mild headache in the first few days
• Light nausea (rare)

Copper Considerations

GHK-Cu delivers copper with each injection. The body tightly regulates copper and excretes excess through bile, so toxicity at standard doses is extremely unlikely. However:

• Cycle off after 8–12 weeks to prevent accumulation
• Do not use if you have Wilson’s Disease or other copper metabolism disorders
• A baseline copper and ceruloplasmin level is prudent for longer protocols

Standard Contraindications

• Active cancer or tumor history (all three peptides promote angiogenesis)
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Under 18
• Blood clotting disorders or anticoagulant therapy
• Tested athletes (BPC-157 and TB-500 are WADA-banned)

What Comes Next

After your first Glow Stack cycle:

• Repeat the cycle after a 4-week rest for deeper results
• Add topical GHK-Cu serum or cream alongside injections for surface-level skin targeting
• Explore the Wolverine Stack if your primary goal shifts to injury recovery
• Review individual protocols for BPC-157 and GHK-Cu if you want to run compounds solo
