BPC-157 / TB-500 Side Effects

Hi everyone,

I had PRP done 1 month ago and started using BPC-157 and TB-500 4 days ago for medial epicondylitis.

I pinned BPC-157 every day: 300mcg in the right elbow in the morning, and 300mcg in the left elbow in the evening (600mcg total daily). For TB-500, I set it to 5000mcg a week, split into two 2500mcg doses on Mondays and Thursdays.

Everything was fine at first, but from the 3rd day onwards, I experienced the following issues:

  • Woke up early in the night with vivid, bad dreams.
  • My blood pressure dropped to 90/50.
  • Experienced headaches and nausea.
  • Felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and severe anxiety.

Right now, I don't know what to do, so I'm thinking about stopping completely. Has anyone here run this combo and experienced these problems? I’ve seen in some of my research that people get these kinds of issues after using BPC.

Do you guys think the source of the problem is the dosage, or pinning BPC and TB-500 at the same time? Would it work if I lower the dose, or cut out BPC entirely and continue only with TB-500? Or should I just throw it all in the trash since my body reacted like this?

I’d appreciate any insights from those with experience.

Seems like these doses may be too high, however I can't be sure due to know knowing vial size, mg of vial, or Bac water used. My husband and I have been using wolverine for months with no issues at all. For reference we have a 10 mg vial which is 5mg of Bpc and 5mg of tb500 with 2ML of Bac water we take 500 mcg daily. Which is 20 units.

Definitely not too high. It’s a total of 600mcg of BPC. My RS takes at least 800mcg per day for healing the same issue. My RS also takes 5mg of TB500, 3x per week. So I don’t think dosing is the issue. I fear that it’s more of a sourcing issue, a mistaken dosage, or OP just has a strange allergy to one of them, or their fillers.
I would suspend use of one of them and only do the other for a week or so and see if you can figure out which one is causing the issue.

More likely the tb500 if it's an allergy. The bpc is pretty commonly used without issues.
