The 3 unit limit per injection is Anela's thing/suggestion. What I'd like clarity on is how to mix all together - if it's something other than 1.5ml BAC in the two that are then used to recon the ghk-cu

What bike chick said is the same thing you said... it's 3ml bac total among the 3 vials, all combined together.
Good idea then to start at lowest dosage 1mg 6 units. I chatted to Anela on reddit asking about how to recon the elements and I'll see if she responds.

I wont say where 🙄 but I read BPC-157 side effects: "Can affect mood if taking with SSRI - DISCONTINUE if causes depression or anxiety symptoms.
EDIT: This is by far the scariest part for me. I had DEBILITATING anxiety and depression for quite a few years, this has only come under control by taking Remeron the last 3-4 years. I've tried close to 2 dozen psych meds over the years, none helped, many made things worse. So I'm a bit sensitive to this sort of thing.

I wonder if it says at what dosage BPC-157 can interfere, causes...

it does not, but certainly a subject worthy of more research.

Sorry y'all @MingHenry and I kind of hijacked this thread.
Can anyone comment on the "risk" of depression/anxiety surrounding BPC-157? Is it dose related? Or specific to the person? Maybe point me to research about this. Have looked but not finding much info.

So so sorry.
I put 2ml in the GHK. I put 1 mL in the bpc. I suck up the contents of the BPC and inject that into the vial of TB. Then I pull all of that up into my syringe and inject that into the GHK vial that has had enough time to sit and mix. And then do 10 units per that screenshot she sent me
Everything I have read about BPC indicates it is likely a mood booster
It’s in her protocol and I just gave you the version of it. I use to accommodate three vials. You can even put 1 mL in each bottle if you want but I just prefer to do it the way I do it.
I know - she's a bit hard to follow - I'm going to do 1.5ml bac in each of BPC and TD and add both to ghk-cu. She said that was a great idea and easier than how she's been doing it... I guess the only point is 3ml bac
There is 🐀 research that shows BPC may have a regulatory affect on the dopamine and serotonin systems. However, this was with the administration of amphetamines (and, obviously could also manifest differently in non-rat RS). See neurological section here: https://examine.com/supplements/bpc...rology_yQZ5O2O-dopaminergic-neurotransmission
Personal anecdote: I experienced mild anhedonia with BPC but also amazing healing affects on my hips and hamstrings (intended usage). The positives were so good, I decided to try just taking it a night at dose of 250mcg, and that tended to resolve the mood altering effects for me since it mostly cleared from the system overnight. (Unrelated, I've stopped taking it temporarily while having some health scans but am hoping to be able to restart it after those are cleared. I tried using KPV as a substitute and the healing effects are nowhere close for me).
I tend to have a sensitive response to anything that messes with dopamine / serotonin, and would hypothesize I have either low circulating levels of both and/or hyper-reactive receptors. I've never taken SSRIs or any other pharmaceuticals but I experienced the same mild anhedonia with tesofensine and immediately discontinued usage, which cleared it.

I am all too familiar with anhedonia, so I'll watch for that.
I looked at teso, but that just seems a bit much and I'm pretty sure it would cause problems. I have issues with ephedrine.. any kind of stimulants kick anxiety into overdrive.
BPC at night seems like a good plan, it has a 4 hour half life, so that should knock most of it out by morning... I have severe chronic pain, so I'm hoping the reduced inflammation and other positives will actually make me "feel" better.

The massaging thing she mentioned was on a sheet that did not include TB500, and says not to massage other peptides.. so I'm wondering if the TB500 can handle it too, or if you skip the massaging part. And, so I know what to look for/expect, what kind of ISR are common from GHK/BPC?
The screenshot I sent is what she prepared for me to add TB500. I also do not massage it. I did not find that I got any injection site reactions and it burns minimally if at all.

Lots of folks say the hair loss is from rapid weight loss and that doesn’t help, but if you read the package insert on Mounjaro or Zepbound the side effect of hair loss is listed. Definitely is caused from the drug itself. Have talked to dermatologists and they have told me that you have to go through the whole process of loss before regrowth begins. Takes up to a year. Thank goodness I had a lot of hair to begin with because I’ve lost a lot. But a year post Tirz and mine is coming back! Little wisps are actually driving me crazy! 😂

Didn't know that! I'm already half bald, soooo... Which peptide fixes that? Lol
I only started losing hair in the last 10 days and am most miffed, AKA freaked out.

I understand! I’m a pharmacist and most people on glp1s will lose hair. Like I said thankfully I had a lot to start with and mine had really not been noticeable. But MANY of my patients have really suffered from this side effect. Not enough to give up the beneficial weight loss! It’ll come back! Plenty of protein and collagen supplements help
Good to know it will come back because the last few days AAARGGHH. Do your patients use something to help or just have to deal with it? I'm also ticked off because I have been religious about using collagen peptides, hair complex peptides, eating about 150 grams of protein every day and now this!! 😳

That helps but according to the dermatologists, once you start losing you have to go through the cycle
Both upsetting and good to know, about just having to go through the cycle. So glad yours is growing again - despite the crazy-making wisps!
Thank you for this most informative post about hair loss! That answers the question..... FINALLY.
Update on the zinc: I have recently seen info on another big server from one of the expert/mods that zinc supplements won't bind to the copper so they are essentially useless to take in conjunction with the Glow Protocol, but that the zinc isn't needed because you won't get copper toxicity from.the protocol. Have also seen that people are doing the protocol repeatedly without taking zinc and their blood tests showed zinc and copper levels were just fine. One user takes zinc and his daily glow protocol is 5mg daily of GHK-cu plus the other peps, and he's been doing it for quite a long time (a couple of years I think I recall) and is fine at that high mg of the GHK-cu, though watching out in case his nails gain a blue tinge, which has not happened. I'm glowing and taking zinc and started with 10 mg of zinc in advance and increased it to 30mg when I started the protocol, and just started taking 50mg per the protocol, and maybe it's the zinc or maybe it's the protocol - though only 10 days in - or maybe it's the IGK hair product I started using out of fear - but my hair, which hasn't fallen out at all since starting tirz, did seem to be dropping off my head at a rate that I noticed and then was scared by, and then I started the zinc and the protocol and the hair product, and my hair is staying rooted again. Sadly, I have no way to determine what is making the difference. Research is rarely straight forward.

@MingHenry, what is the IGK hair product you're using? I use their dry shampoo and smoothing spray. I love their products!
I've just started using other of their products and got an email about this one and really really like it - been using it just a week or two - it's Hair Density Scalp Treatment. Use at night. Plus hair is so soft! Not inexpensive and they don't give much, 2.1 oz, which surprises me because their products aren't as pricey as others, but I found a place having a sale on it and bought more. Image Beauty is the place.
So... has it helped? What do you think?

What changes in your skin have you noticed since using Glow? I saw that it doesn’t cause skin lightening which I am tempted to get gluthathione for
How are you doing now?
Costco has the best price on minoxidil 5%. I am only using it after I wash my hair. It has stopped falling out. I went through a period a few months ago that I was literally losing clumps of hair. It started to scare me so I went to my NP. We started thyroid meds as my numbers were a bit high and she suggested using the minoxidil...
