Optimize Your Surgical Recovery
A four-phase evidence-informed peptide protocol designed to prime, protect, rebuild, and maintain your body before and after surgery.
Four Phases of Recovery
Each phase targets specific biological mechanisms—from immune priming weeks before your procedure to long-term cellular maintenance. Peptides are sequenced to work synergistically, not in isolation.
Phase 1
Pre-Operative
2–8 Weeks Before Surgery
| Peptide | Dose | Frequency | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 500 mcg/day | Daily | Gut & tissue baseline prep |
| Thymosin A1 | 1.6 mg | 2× per week | Immune system priming |
| Zinc Carnosine | 75 mg/day | Daily | GI mucosal protection |
Phase 2
Acute Post-Op
Day 0–7 After Surgery
| Peptide | Dose | Frequency | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 1,000 mcg/day | Daily | Accelerate wound closure |
| KPV | 100 mcg | 3× per day | Reduce acute inflammation |
| Thymosin B4 | 2 mg | 3× per week | Cell migration & repair |
Phase 3
Active Recovery
Week 2–8 Post-Op
| Peptide | Dose | Frequency | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 500 mcg | 2× per day | Sustained tissue remodeling |
| TB-500 | 2 mg | 2× per week | Large-scale regeneration |
| Ipamorelin | 200 mcg | 3× per day | GH pulse for anabolism |
Phase 4
Long-Term Maintenance
Month 3 & Beyond
| Peptide | Dose | Frequency | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| CJC-1295 | 1 mg/week | Weekly | Sustained GH axis support |
| Ipamorelin | 200 mcg | 3× per day | Daily GH pulse maintenance |
| Epitalon | 10 mg/day | Daily | Telomere & longevity support |
Accelerated Tissue Repair
BPC-157 and TB-500 upregulate growth factors like VEGF and EGF, dramatically increasing the rate of tendon, muscle, and connective tissue repair at the cellular level.
Inflammation Management
KPV and Thymosin Alpha-1 modulate the inflammatory cascade—reducing excessive immune response that delays healing without suppressing the protective acute phase.
Hormonal Optimization
CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin restore the anabolic environment needed for tissue synthesis, counteracting the catabolic stress response triggered by surgical trauma.
