01 / STACK OVERVIEW

What Is The Wolverine Stack?

The Wolverine Stack is the most powerful peptide combination for accelerated healing and tissue regeneration. Named for its near-superhuman recovery profile — BPC-157 and TB-500 attack tissue repair from two completely different mechanisms, creating a synergistic effect that neither compound achieves alone. Used by elite athletes, post-surgical patients, and anyone with chronic injuries that conventional medicine can't resolve.
BPC-157
10mg vial · 33.3 mcg/unit
LOCAL REPAIR AGENT
Body Protection Compound — 15 amino acid peptide isolated from gastric juice. Activates growth factor receptors (VEGFR2, FGFR) at injury sites. Accelerates angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), tendon-to-bone attachment, ligament healing, and gut repair. Works locally at the injury site — inject near damaged tissue for maximum effect.
TB-500
10mg vial · 33.3 mcg/unit
SYSTEMIC REPAIR AGENT
Synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4. Binds actin — the protein in all cells that drives cellular motility and structural repair. Reduces systemic inflammation via NF-κB pathway inhibition. Promotes stem cell migration to injury sites throughout the entire body. Works systemically — one injection repairs everywhere.

02 / SYNERGY MECHANISM

Why These Two Together

L
BPC-157 — LOCAL PRECISION
Concentrates repair signals at the specific injury site. Accelerates local angiogenesis (blood flow to damaged tissue), stimulates local growth factor cascades, and drives tendon/ligament fibroblast proliferation. Think of it as calling the repair crew directly to the worksite.
S
TB-500 — SYSTEMIC AMPLIFICATION
Floods the body with stem cells, reduces systemic inflammation, and upregulates actin availability in every cell. Creates the optimal systemic environment for the local BPC-157 repair process to work. Think of it as clearing traffic, reducing friction, and bringing reinforcements everywhere.
2×
COMBINED EFFECT
Animal studies show the combination heals tendon injuries significantly faster than either peptide alone. BPC-157 drives local tissue architecture reconstruction while TB-500 provides the cellular building blocks and removes inflammatory barriers. The result: the fastest non-surgical tissue repair protocol in peptide research.
Injury Protocol: For acute injuries — BPC-157 injected subcutaneously as close to the injury site as possible. TB-500 injected into any SC site (systemic distribution). Run both simultaneously for maximum effect.
03 / RECONSTITUTION

Vial Preparation — Two Formats

⭐ WOLVERINE PRE-BLEND — 20mg VIAL
10mg BPC-157 + 10mg TB-500 · pre-mixed in one vial
20mg total + 3.0 mL BAC water = 66.7 mcg of EACH per unit
Standard dose (500mcg each): 7.5 units / 0.075 mL
Loading dose (750mcg each): 11.3 units / 0.113 mL
Aggressive (1mg each): 15 units / 0.15 mL
Best option for most users. One injection delivers both peptides at the same 1:1 ratio. Simpler, cheaper than buying separate vials, and BPC-157 + TB-500 are pharmacologically compatible (no methionine oxidation, no copper — they share the same BAC water buffer cleanly). Compounding pharmacies ship this as "Wolverine Blend" or "BPC+TB 20mg".

33.3 mcg per unit
250mcg: 7.5 units / 0.075 mL
500mcg: 15 units / 0.15 mL
750mcg: 22.5 units / 0.225 mL
TB-500 — 10mg VIAL (standalone)
10mg + 3.0 mL BAC water
33.3 mcg per unit
500mcg: 15 units / 0.15 mL
1mg: 30 units / 0.30 mL
2mg: 60 units / 0.60 mL
If you have separate vials, you can still co-inject them in one syringe. BPC-157 and TB-500 are compatible — draw each one into the same insulin syringe, inject together SubQ. No degradation risk since neither contains copper or reactive metals.

Timing: BPC-157 — no fasting required. Can inject any time. Best results when injected as close to the injury site as possible. TB-500 — no fasting required. Injected 2× weekly regardless of BPC-157 timing.
Acute Injury Protocol (Weeks 1–2): TB-500 loading dose 2mg every 3–4 days + BPC-157 750mcg daily split AM/PM. Front-loading accelerates the inflammatory-to-regenerative phase transition.

Administration Schedule

CYCLE LENGTH
8–12 Weeks
ACUTE INJURY PHASE (Wks 1–4)
TB-500: 2–4mg loading 2×/week. BPC-157: 500–750mcg daily. Aggressive front-load to drive rapid phase transition from inflammation to repair.
