GLOW

About GLOW (BPC-157 + GHK-Cu + TB-500)

The GLOW blend is a three-peptide combination aimed at reducing visible signs of aging by improving skin and hair health, and — thanks to its tissue-regenerating components — supporting wound healing and the reduction of scar tissue. Each 70 mg vial contains:

• BPC-157 – 10 mg: Stimulates collagen synthesis, reduces scar tissue, and accelerates wound healing across skin, muscle, tendon, ligament, and other tissues.
• GHK-Cu – 50 mg: Stimulates elastin and collagen production, improves skin hydration and elasticity, reduces fine lines, photodamage, and hyperpigmentation, protects against UV and free-radical damage, and accelerates hair growth (studied as equal to or better than Minoxidil 5%) while enlarging and strengthening hair follicles.
• TB-500 – 10 mg: Promotes collagen production, reduces scarring, and protects, regenerates, and remodels injured tissue — wounds treated with TB-500 show more mature, tightly organized collagen structures. Also stimulates and strengthens hair follicles for faster, thicker growth.

Dosing & Reconstitution Guide

— 70 mg Blend Vial —

Reconstitute: Add 2.5 mL (250 units) bacteriostatic water.
Administration: Subcutaneous injection.
Timing: May be dosed at any time of day; fasting is not necessary.
Storage: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C after reconstitution.

Schedule: Once daily, 7 days per week.
Cycle Length: 6–12 weeks on, followed by a 6–12 week washout period.
Goal: Skin rejuvenation, hair regrowth/strengthening, wound healing, and scar reduction.

Standard Protocol

Phase	Dose	Syringe (U-100)
Entire cycle (6–12 weeks)	1–2 mg GHK-Cu equivalent, once daily	5–10 units (0.05–0.10 mL)

Injection tips (GHK-Cu can sting at the injection site): After drawing your dose, dilute it with 20 or more units of bacteriostatic water or sterile injection solution; gently massage the site for about 60 seconds after injecting to aid absorption; and rotate injection sites daily for comfort.

Benefits

• Improves skin health and appearance; reduces fine lines, wrinkles, photodamage, and hyperpigmentation.
• Restores skin elasticity and helps reverse the thinning of aging skin; improves hydration.
• Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis across all three components.
• Accelerates hair growth; enlarges, strengthens, and thickens hair follicles; supports hair regrowth.
• Accelerates wound healing in skin, muscle, tendon, ligament, and other tissues.
• Reduces scar tissue and promotes tightly organized collagen structures in healing wounds.
• Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity; reduces free-radical damage and protects against UV exposure.
• Boosts antibody production (TB-500 component).

Side Effects

While side effects are not common, you may experience:

• Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, itching, tenderness, lumps and/or bruising)
• Allergic reaction (rare) — signs include swelling and difficulty breathing

Copper Reactivity (GHK-Cu Component)

For some users, GHK-Cu (a copper peptide) is painful to inject and/or may cause a reaction at the injection site — ranging from a small pinch to a strong sting, with possible redness, swelling, bruising, pain, or a knot beneath the skin lasting several days. Others experience neither. Individuals more sensitive to copper ions tend to have:

• Low baseline ceruloplasmin (the copper-binding protein that regulates free copper)
• An already-inflamed skin barrier or microcirculation
• Trace metal imbalances (e.g., low zinc or high iron)

When injected, free copper can temporarily separate from GHK, generating mild oxidative activity and histamine release in the area. To prevent or minimize reactions: (1) always rotate injection sites — never use the same spot twice in a row; (2) after drawing your daily dose, add 30–90 units of water to the shot to dilute the GHK-Cu; (3) note that when GHK-Cu and BPC-157 are combined (as in GLOW), injection pain decreases substantially versus GHK-Cu alone.

If injections remain intolerable even after dilution, the remaining reconstituted solution can be mixed into a half-ounce to an ounce of a thick moisturizing cream or ointment and applied topically beneath a secondary moisturizer.

Contraindications

• Do not use when pregnant or nursing.
• Use caution with active cancer — regenerative peptides in this blend promote angiogenesis and cell migration.
• Known copper sensitivity: see the Copper Reactivity section above before proceeding.

Stacking Suggestions

To further boost regeneration, anti-aging, and hair/skin optimization:

• Epithalon – For telomere repair, DNA integrity, and longevity
• CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin – To stimulate collagen, tissue recovery, and increase GH output
• Glutathione – For skin brightening, antioxidant protection, and detox support
• Snap-8 or Argireline – To layer on wrinkle reduction through topical use
• AOD-9604 – To help reduce stubborn fat while preserving skin elasticity during recomposition
• GHK-Cu Topical Cream – For localized skin enhancement (stacked with internal GLOW injections)
