The Wolverine Stack is the most widely referenced healing protocol in the peptide research community. It combines BPC-157 and TB-500 to exploit their complementary mechanisms: BPC-157 drives local tissue repair and angiogenesis at the injury site, while TB-500 promotes systemic actin regulation, cellular migration, and anti-inflammation throughout the body.
The protocol is named colloquially for its reportedly rapid regenerative properties observed in animal studies and reported anecdotally in human self-experimentation.
| Mechanism | BPC-157 | TB-500 |
|---|---|---|
| Local tissue repair | ✓ Primary | ✓ Secondary |
| Systemic angiogenesis | ✓ Moderate | ✓ Strong |
| Actin regulation | ✗ | ✓ Primary |
| Gut protection | ✓ Strong | ✗ |
| Anti-inflammatory | ✓ Moderate | ✓ Strong |
| Half-life | ~4 hours | Days |
The complementary half-lives and mechanisms make this a commonly paired stack — BPC-157 provides frequent local pulses while TB-500's longer half-life maintains systemic regenerative tone.

Healing InjectableRanges below reflect what has been used in animal research and reported in self-experimentation literature. These are NOT dosing recommendations.
| Compound | Research Range | Frequency | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 250–500 mcg/day | Once or twice daily | SubQ / IM |
| TB-500 | 5–10 mg/week (loading) 2.5–5 mg/week (maintenance) | 1–2x per week | SubQ / IM |
| Phase | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Loading | Weeks 1–4 | Higher frequency; TB-500 at loading dose |
| Maintenance | Weeks 5–12 | Reduced TB-500 dose; BPC-157 continues |
| Off cycle | Equal to on-cycle | Allow receptor sensitivity recovery |
