Stacks / Acute Injury & Rehab

The Injury Protocol

The something-just-happened protocol — an aggressive 6–8 week repair window built around the most established recovery pairing in the research world, with the rebuild layer on top.

You tweaked a knee in a scramble, felt an elbow pop defending an armbar, or your shoulder finally filed its complaint after years of overhead work. This is the protocol people actually come to peptides for — the acute window where the research community runs its most aggressive repair work. It's built to run 6–8 weeks from the day it starts, then step back down to a maintenance foundation.

One thing first: a real injury gets imaged and diagnosed. Peptides are studied as support for healing, not as a substitute for knowing what's torn.

The Foundation — the repair engine

• BPC-157 + TB-500 (blend vial) — 1 mg daily (the full-strength tier). The acute window is exactly when the research community runs the top of this pairing's range: BPC works the local site, TB-500 works systemically. This is the core of the protocol — if you run only one thing, run this.
• NAD+ — 100 mg daily, slow. Tissue repair is an energy project; cellular energy is the budget it spends.
• DSIP — 200 mcg pre-bed. Repair happens during deep sleep, and pain wrecks exactly that. Defending sleep quality through the injury window is not optional garnish — it's the multiplier.

The Rebuild Layer

• GHK-Cu — 1.5 mg daily, 5 on / 2 off. The remodeling leg: collagen quality and tissue architecture as the repair lays down new material — the difference between healed and healed well.
• CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (blend) — 200 mcg pre-bed, fasted. The growth-hormone pulse is the systemic rebuild signal; every serious rehab protocol in the research literature leans on it.

The Complete Optimal Build

• IGF-1 LR3 — 40 mcg on rehab-work days. The advanced tissue-growth leg for the back half of the window, once you're loading the injured area again — often scaled to body size (see profile).

The full program at a glance

Run it 6–8 weeks, then reassess: most people step down to the Jiu-Jitsu program's standard foundation rather than stopping cold. The Supply Builder sizes the full window in one order — mid-protocol reorder gaps are exactly what an injury window can't afford.

Where this protocol fits

• It's the emergency lane, not the daily driver. The Jiu-Jitsu Athlete Program is the year-round system; this is the 6–8 week surge when something specific breaks.
• Rehab work is the other half. The research on every compound above sits on top of progressive loading — the protocol supports physical therapy, it doesn't replace it.

For the women on the mats

Identical biology, identical protocol — run Standard tier if the full-strength BPC/TB dose feels like more than the injury warrants, and see the Women & Peptides guide for the one hard line (pregnant or nursing = none of this).

Research protocols, not a prescription — an actual injury needs an actual physician first. Talk to one before touching anything.
