What is GLOW Blend?
GLOW Blend is a synergistic combination of three powerful regenerative peptides designed to work together for enhanced healing, tissue repair, and anti-aging research:
| Component | Amount | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| GHK-Cu | 50mg | Copper peptide for skin regeneration & collagen synthesis |
| TB-500 | 10mg | Thymosin Beta-4 for tissue repair & flexibility |
| BPC-157 | 10mg | Body Protection Compound for systemic healing |
Total peptide content: 70mg
The combination leverages complementary mechanisms — GHK-Cu promotes cellular regeneration and collagen production, TB-500 enhances tissue repair and reduces inflammation, while BPC-157 provides systemic healing support and protective effects.

Reconstitution Guide
Materials Needed
- GLOW Blend 70mg lyophilized vial
- Bacteriostatic water (BAC water)
- Insulin syringes (U-100, 29-31 gauge)
- Alcohol swabs
- Sharps container
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare your workspace — Clean your work area and gather all materials. Wash hands thoroughly.
-
Clean the vial stoppers — Wipe the GLOW Blend vial stopper and BAC water vial with alcohol swabs. Allow to dry.
-
Draw the BAC water — Using a sterile syringe, draw 3.5mL of bacteriostatic water.
-
Add water to peptide vial — Insert the needle and slowly inject BAC water down the inside wall of the vial. Never spray directly onto the powder.
-
Allow to dissolve — The blend typically dissolves within 5-10 minutes. Gently swirl if needed — never shake. The GHK-Cu component may give the solution a slight blue tint.
-
Verify dissolution — Solution should be clear to slightly blue-tinted. Discard if cloudy or particles visible.
-
Label and store — Write reconstitution date on vial. Refrigerate immediately.
Alternative Reconstitution Options
| BAC Water | Concentration | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 3.5mL | 20mg/mL | Standard - easy calculations |
| 7mL | 10mg/mL | Lower doses, more precision |
| 2mL | 35mg/mL | Smaller injection volumes |
Dosage Protocol
Concentration Calculations
With 70mg total peptide in 3.5mL BAC water:

Suggested Research Protocols
Protocol A: General Regeneration (Conservative)
- Dose: 500mcg daily
- Frequency: 5 days on, 2 days off
- Duration: 8-12 weeks
Protocol B: Enhanced Healing (Moderate)
- Dose: 1000mcg daily
- Frequency: Daily
- Duration: 4-8 weeks
Protocol C: Intensive Recovery (Advanced)
- Dose: 1500-2000mcg daily
- Frequency: Daily during acute phase
- Duration: 2-4 weeks, then reduce
Injection Guide
Subcutaneous Administration
- Clean injection site with alcohol swab and let dry
- Pinch skin fold at abdomen, thigh, or target area
- Insert needle at 45-90° angle
- Inject slowly over 5-10 seconds
- Wait 5 seconds before withdrawing
- Apply gentle pressure — do not massage
Site Selection
For systemic effects:
- Rotate between abdomen and thighs
- Avoid 2-inch radius around navel
For localized effects (optional):
- Inject near area of concern when appropriate
- TB-500 and BPC-157 components work systemically regardless of site
- GHK-Cu may provide enhanced local benefits for skin
Site Rotation Schedule
| Day | Site |
|---|---|
| Monday | Left abdomen |
| Tuesday | Right abdomen |
| Wednesday | Left thigh |
| Thursday | Right thigh |
| Friday | Abdomen (alternate side) |
Storage Requirements
Lyophilized (Powder Form)
- Temperature: -20°C (-4°F) or colder
- Duration: 2+ years
- Conditions: Protect from light and moisture
Reconstituted (Mixed with BAC Water)
- Temperature: 2-8°C (36-46°F)
- Duration: 4-6 weeks
- Conditions: Protect from light, never freeze
Critical Storage Notes
- GHK-Cu gives solution a characteristic blue color — this is normal
- Discard if solution becomes cloudy or discolored (beyond normal blue tint)
- Keep refrigerated at all times after reconstitution
- Do not freeze reconstituted solution
