Stack Protocol

The Glow Protocol

GHK-Cu + BPC-157 for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Targeting collagen synthesis, inflammation, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling simultaneously.

Protocol Overview

Duration

8–12 weeks

Peptides

2–3

Primary Goal

Skin Rejuvenation

Injections/day

1–2

Why These Peptides Work Together

Collagen & Elastin

GHK-Cu directly stimulates fibroblasts to produce type I and III collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans — the structural proteins of youthful skin.

Inflammation Reduction

BPC-157 powerfully reduces inflammatory cytokines in skin tissue. This accelerates healing, reduces redness, and calms conditions like rosacea and acne scarring.

Angiogenesis

BPC-157 promotes new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), improving blood supply to skin tissue and accelerating nutrient delivery and waste removal.

Matrix Remodeling

GHK-Cu activates matrix metalloproteinases that remove old, cross-linked collagen and replace it with fresh fibers — the key to reducing scars and deep wrinkles.

Dosing Protocol

Loading (Weeks 1–4)

Peptide	Dose	Frequency	Notes
GHK-Cu Injectable	2–5mg	Daily or every other day	Subcutaneous near target areas (face, scalp)
BPC-157	250–500mcg	Daily	Subcutaneous — systemic or local to problem area

Maintenance (Week 5+)

Peptide	Dose	Frequency	Notes
GHK-Cu Injectable	2mg	3x per week	Reduce frequency as skin improves
BPC-157	250mcg	3x per week	Maintenance phase
GHK-Cu Topical	0.5–1%	Twice daily (all phases)	Apply morning and evening — complements injectable

Optional Add-on: TB-500

For users targeting wound healing, scarring, or systemic skin issues, adding TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) can accelerate results. TB-500 promotes actin polymerization in cells — critical for tissue repair and wound healing.

Dose: 500mcg–2mg

Frequency: 2x weekly

Duration: 4–8 weeks

What to Expect

Week 1–2

BPC-157 begins reducing skin inflammation. Redness and irritation conditions often improve first. Subtle brightness in skin tone.

Week 3–4

GHK-Cu collagen stimulation becomes apparent. Skin feels firmer and more hydrated. Fine lines begin to soften.

Week 5–8

Most significant visible improvements. Scars flatten and fade, deep wrinkles reduce, skin tone evens. Results most dramatic in before/after comparison.

Week 9–12

Consolidation phase. Transition to maintenance dosing. New collagen matures and skin improvements become more permanent.

Tips for Best Results

Add topical GHK-Cu serum (0.5–1%) twice daily alongside injectable for surface-level and deep collagen support.

Add topical SNAP-8 to forehead and eye area to reduce expression wrinkles while the collagen protocol works underneath.

Sun protection (SPF 30+) is critical. Active collagen synthesis is disrupted by UV damage — always protect treated skin.

Stay well hydrated and maintain adequate protein intake (collagen is a protein and requires amino acid building blocks).

Take photos at baseline, week 4, and week 8 to objectively track results. Skin improvements are gradual and often more visible in photos.
