Ben Greenfield's "Recover Like Wolverine" Stack

Peptide Schedule Research TeamReviewed Apr 2026

CommunityHealing & Recovery5 phases

Five peptides, three sub-stacks, and a torn hamstring that started it all. Ben Greenfield published full dosing for BPC-157, TB-500, ipamorelin, tesamorelin, and GHK-Cu after using the combo to recover from a persistent upper leg injury. The healing duo (BPC-157 + TB-500) can be run alone; the GH pair (ipamorelin + tesamorelin) adds recovery optimization at bedtime. Budget $400-800/month and plan for 4-12 weeks on, equal time off.

Important Notices

  • Multi-peptide stack — not recommended to start all 5 simultaneously
  • GHK-Cu and BPC-157 both promote angiogenesis — avoid with cancer history
  • Ipamorelin: avoid food 1 hour before/after injection

Ben Greenfield's "Never Get Sick" Immunity Stack

Community

Three peptides, three different cycle lengths, one goal: stop getting sick. Greenfield pairs TB-500 (3 months on, 3 off) with Thymalin (3-10 day bursts every 6-12 months) and LL-37 (4-6 week antimicrobial cycles). Each targets a different layer of immune defense. Warning on LL-37: Herxheimer reactions are common in the first two weeks if you have SIBO or gut dysbiosis.

Dr. Koniver's GH Secretagogue Bedtime Stack

Community

One syringe, three peptides, taken at bedtime. Dr. Koniver confirmed on Huberman Lab Ep 197 that he combines BPC-157 (500mcg), ipamorelin (100mcg), and tesamorelin (2mg) in a single subcutaneous injection. Schedule is 5 days on, 2 off. No food for 45 minutes before. The single-syringe detail settled a long-running debate about whether these peptides could be mixed safely.

Dr. Edwin Lee's BPC-157 Knee Protocol (Clinical Trial)

Clinical Trial

The only peer-reviewed human BPC-157 clinical trial, published in Alternative Therapies (2021). Dr. Edwin Lee injected 4mg BPC-157 directly into knee joints. Seven out of 12 patients reported pain relief lasting 6+ months from a single injection. The route is intra-articular, not subcutaneous. This is a physician-administered procedure, not a self-injection protocol.

Huberman BPC-157 Injury Recovery Protocol

Community

Huberman used BPC-157 for an L5 disc compression from deadlifting and reported resolution in "approximately 2 injections" after massage, heat, and electrical stimulation had all failed. Dose is a discussed range (300-500mcg, 2-3 times per week), not his exact personal dose. Sourced from Huberman Lab Ep 170. Cycle 8 weeks on, 8-10 weeks off.

Community

Three peptides blended in a 5:1:1 ratio: GHK-Cu (50mg), BPC-157 (10mg), and TB-500 (10mg) in a single 70mg vial. Jay Campbell designed the GLOW protocol for tissue repair, gut healing, and skin rejuvenation. Available as a pre-blended vial or mixed individually. Daily injection, with at least 15 days off between cycles to prevent receptor desensitization. Beginner-friendly entry point.

Huberman Sermorelin Protocol (DISCONTINUED)

Community

Two years on sermorelin for deep sleep, then he stopped. Huberman tracked everything with Eight Sleep and WHOOP; the data showed REM sleep depletion and elevated PSA (prostate-specific antigen). He disclosed this on Ep 170 as cautionary data. Dose is a discussed range, not his exact personal dose. This protocol is discontinued, but the discontinuation data is what makes it worth studying.

Bryan Johnson's Cerebrolysin Cognitive Protocol

Community

Bryan Johnson called cerebrolysin "the best subjective neuro-enhancer" he's tried, then added that it produced no measurable biomarker improvement. Phase 1: 5mL IM every other day (10 injections over 20 days). Phase 2: 5mL IM daily for 3 months. Porcine-derived, so not suitable for pork allergies. The gap between subjective experience and objective data is the interesting part here.

Hunter Williams' Personal Peptide Stack

Community

Five peptides from the co-author of Jay Campbell's Peptide Cheat Sheet. Hunter Williams disclosed his personal protocol: Ipamorelin 300mcg, Tesamorelin 1mg, BPC-157 500mcg, TB-500 500mcg, and TA-1, all cycled 8 weeks on and 8 weeks off. The dosing lines up with the cheat sheet he co-wrote, which adds credibility. He also runs Tirzepatide 0.5mg three times per week but that sits outside the core stack. Budget $300-600/month.
