Blends
Wolverine Stack
Also known as: BPC-157/TB-500 blend, Wolverine blend, BPC TB
What is Wolverine stack?
The Wolverine stack — named after the fast-healing comic-book character — is the nickname for BPC-157 and TB-500 used together, usually as a single pre-mixed vial. The rationale is that the two peptides help repair through different routes: BPC-157 mainly through blood-vessel growth and fibroblast signalling, TB-500 through actin regulation and cell migration.
It is important to be clear about the evidence: there are no published studies on the combination itself. Everything known comes from the separate literature on each component.
How Wolverine stack works
See the individual pages for BPC-157 and TB-500. The theoretical case for combining them is complementarity: BPC-157 appears to act more locally on blood supply and tendon fibroblasts, while thymosin beta-4 acts more systemically on cell migration and inflammation.
A pre-mixed blend fixes the ratio. With a 1:1 vial, every measured amount contains equal parts of each peptide — you cannot adjust one without the other.
What the research shows
- BPC-157: extensive rodent data on tendon, ligament, muscle and gut healing; no controlled human efficacy trials.
- TB-500 / thymosin beta-4: rodent wound and heart repair data, plus human trials of the full-length protein in eye conditions.
- No study has tested whether the combination performs better than either peptide alone.
Wolverine stack side effects
Combines the uncertainties of both peptides. Neither has long-term human safety data, and both are pro-angiogenic, which is a theoretical concern for anyone with an existing tumour.
UK legal status
Both components are unlicensed in the UK and sold for research only. Both are prohibited by WADA.

Wolverine stack: frequently asked questions
What is the Wolverine stack?
A combination of BPC-157 and TB-500, usually sold as a 1:1 pre-mixed vial, named for its intended use in tissue-repair research.
Is there research on BPC-157 and TB-500 together?
No. Each peptide has its own animal (and for Tβ4, some human) research, but the combination has not been studied.
How do you work out the dose from a blend vial?
Use the total peptide mass. A 10 mg (5+5) vial in 2 mL water is 5 mg/mL total — each component is 2.5 mg/mL.
Wolverine stack vs GLOW blend?
GLOW adds GHK-Cu to BPC-157 and TB-500. See the GLOW blend page.
