Mechanism of Action
GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis while reducing matrix metalloproteinases. BPC-157 promotes tissue healing and angiogenesis. TB-500 enhances cell migration and new blood vessel formation. The 5:1:1 ratio (GHK-Cu:TB-500:BPC-157) optimizes skin rejuvenation benefits.
Research Summary
GHK-Cu has extensive research showing skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and wound healing benefits. Combined with the tissue repair properties of BPC-157 and TB-500, this stack targets both surface-level skin improvements and deeper cellular regeneration.

Wolverine Stack
PreclinicalThe most popular healing peptide combination, combining BPC-157 (10mg) and TB-500 (10mg). Named after the Marvel character's regenerative abilities. Used for accelerated injury recovery, joint support, and tissue repair.
Peptide BlendKLOW Blend
PreclinicalAn advanced multi-peptide blend combining BPC-157 (10mg), TB-500 (10mg), GHK-Cu (50mg), and KPV (10mg) totaling 80mg per vial. Evolution of the Glow stack with added KPV for enhanced anti-inflammatory and gut health benefits.
Peptide BlendBPC-157
PreclinicalA synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. Known for its remarkable tissue healing properties across multiple body systems. FDA classified as Category 2 in 2023, restricting compounding.
HealingTB-500
PreclinicalA synthetic 17-amino acid fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-4). Unlike TB-4, TB-500 has a longer half-life (~2-4 days vs ~2 hours) and is the active region responsible for tissue repair and cell migration. Note: Many vendors mislabel TB-4 as 'TB-500' in premixed products.
HealingGHK-Cu
Clinical TrialsA naturally occurring copper-binding peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Widely used in skincare for its wound healing and anti-aging properties.
Skin & HairLL-37
Clinical TrialsA naturally occurring antimicrobial peptide and the only human cathelicidin. Part of the innate immune system with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
