GLOW

GLOW — BPC-157 + TB-500 + GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper)

Repair and skin quality in one vial

Quick answer

A 70 mg vial with 3 mL of water makes 23.3 mg/mL. A 700 mcg dose is 3 units. That is a small mark, so measure slowly. Five days a week for 8 to 12 weeks.

Mix it
70 mg vial + 3 mL water
Draw
About 3 units on a U-100 syringe
How often
Once a day, 5 days a week
How it is given
Under the skin.
How long it lasts
Mixed, because it holds three peptides.
Store it
Refrigerate and keep out of light. Use within about 4 weeks.

What it is

Full name: GLOW — BPC-157 + TB-500 + GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper). Most people write it as GLOW.

GLOW combines the two repair peptides with the copper skin peptide. It is a 70 mg vial, so the mixing numbers are different from a standard 10 mg vial.

What it is studied for

  • Skin tone and firmness
  • Tissue repair
  • Hair and nails
  • Post-injury recovery

These are things researchers study. They are not promised results.

Dosing at a glance

These are the amounts used most often in research. Always start at the low end.

How often

Cycle length
8 to 12 weeks
Mix with
Bacteriostatic water (also called BAC water or reconstitution solution).
Storage

Week by week

A common way researchers step the dose up. Stay at each step until it feels easy.

This is a reference schedule, not a prescription. Start at the lowest step.

Mixing it

A common setup for GLOW is a 70 mg vial with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water.

That makes 23.33 mg per mL. A 700 mcg dose is about 3 units on a standard insulin syringe.

Bacteriostatic water is all you need here. Acetic acid is only for powders that will not dissolve. See the mixing guide.

What to watch for

  • Blue tint at the injection site
  • Injection site itching

Stop and speak to a clinician if anything feels wrong. See the safety page.

Common questions

Why is the vial so big?

It holds three peptides, mostly GHK-Cu. Big vial, small draw.

Three units seems tiny. Is that right?

Yes. The mix is strong, so the volume is small. Use more water if the mark is hard to read.

Do I still need separate BPC-157?

Usually not during a GLOW run.
