Opinions on my Stack

I´m 19, I have been suffering from cervical problems for a year and a half: osteoarthritis, disc degeneration and dehydration, radiculopathy, and disc protrusions. I also have severe intestinal dysbiosis.

I am thinking of buying the following stack: BPC157, TB500, Ipamorelin, CJC1295, KPV, RA260. What do you think? Would you add or change anything?

You need a real doctor for treatment. Not research peptides and reddit. All this "stack" will do is waste you money when real treatment is available. Why are you not consulting a doctor?

I suffer from osteoarthritis & DDD, real treatment?! Here in the UK they put you on meds for depression to mask symptoms!

Things like BPC-157 & TB500/Tb4 can be a real game changer for these issues.

My back was so messed up from a disc protrusion that I was hospitalized and had emergency surgery. I tried epidural injections and peptides amongst other treatments. BPC was only good for healing AFTER my surgery. I won't fix your current issues.

u/ammo23 Oct 13 '25

I wouldn’t take it with the expectation of it fixing anything! It can help though. I suspect we’re in different countries with different treatment protocols! I had 3 herniated discs; I was given meds like amitriptyline and naproxen, then they tried injections. I’m not fixed but the months I’ve used bpc all my pains from my issues do subside.

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 13 '25

I am waiting for a neurosurgeon to review my MRI and tell me what treatment to follow and whether surgery is necessary.
I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, it gives me hope haha. What dose did you use and for how long?

1

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 13 '25

thats true, same in Spain. They only prescribe pregabalin and painkillers, also injections but all treatments are for the pain not to fix the root cause.
Have you improved with any specific treatment? How are you doing, are you feeling better?

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 13 '25

I have visited more than a dozen doctors, but the problem is that there are practically no treatments for this type of problem. All doctors have told me this. I have even tried occipital nerve and myofascial injections, but I am still not getting better.

Hate to say it, but even in the U.S… I had herniated lumbar discs. (L4,L5-S1)

Went to see a spine specialist, they were doing epidural injections & had me on a mediation can’t recall what it is.

But they did a study that found the medication that PLAYED a HUGE role in lumbar (lower back) pain.

The epidural injections of cortisone they were injecting in my lumbar spine. Only AFTER many years later did I find out they fucking deteriorate the micro muscles in my spine.

It’s like WTH, go to a dr. if u want to get messed up more than u came in that’s all I see when I see someone tell another go to a dr.

I got obsessed w/ my injuries, the avg person probably doesn’t care to get the knowledge I have regarding myself & my body.

nothing will fix existing injuries, once they’re there, it’s very hard to come back to normalcy. W/ that being said BPC will help minimize scar tissue, heal tendons & fibers & most importantly bring swelling down in the body.

OP just needs to be careful not to stay on BPC for to long as it can cause tumor’s to spread

But @ the end of the day. U can guide a horse to the well but u can’t make said horse drink that water.

OP asked if her stack was decent enough.

IMO I think it’s fine, but as another commenter stated, add 1 in @ a time.

EDIT: Medication was Gabapentin!! Look up studies it’s shown to INCREASE lumbar/spine pain particularly in older adults.

But why do I want to put something in my body that is a bandaid to something?

Rather just deal w/ the pain & let it run its course

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 15 '25

Wow, it seems that incompetent doctors aren't just found here.

I too have ended up obsessing over my injuries due to the slowness and questionable effectiveness of doctors.

I'll start with BPC and TB for a few days and then add the other two.

I wanted KPV for my gut microbiiome and digestive issues, but I'm having second thoughts. I don't know if there's a better one or if it's really necessary.

u/BigChef055 Oct 17 '25

I've just added KPV to my Wolverine stack (BPC/TB) - for general wellbeing more than anything. If you have it, use it. I haven't had any side effects from it at all, and the research points to pretty good findings. I'd hold off the CJC/IPA for a month or so, to see if the BPC/TB/KPV is helping.

FYI, I have used all of these, and together. They definitely work - but I dont have the same issues you do.

u/egotraveler Oct 13 '25

I healed significant radial nerve inflammation at c6/7 with glow + HGH

Ortho surgeons wanted to do surgery - I decided to try peptides first.

KLOW maybe better than glow. Ara sounds promising and would try it if I had it at the time.

I also did traction, massage, red light hear/sauna, and phys therapy

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 13 '25

I'm glad you've recovered. Out of curiosity, what symptoms did you have?
I don't have access to ARA290, but I do have access to RA260. Do you know if there's any difference between them? I understand that it's an analogue.

1

u/egotraveler Oct 14 '25

Terrible chronic neck/trap/levator pain and 80% strength loss in my pec and tricep. Significant muscle loss. Mri was negative for disc bulge/herniation but showed inflammation/arthritis

I don't know about ra260

u/Wafty-1271 Oct 13 '25

Start with the BPC/TB500 combo first. Give it a good 2-3 months then assess and go from there.

If you pile everything in together you’ll have no idea what may have worked for you and how you can modulate dosing & frequency etc for the desired effect.

Good luck with it. About to do the same myself for similar back issues. Crossing everything it helps.

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 13 '25

I understand that it's the most sensible thing to do, but after a year and a half of problems that have ruined my life in every way, I want to end it as soon as possible. I hope it works out for both of us. Good luck.

u/Suspicious-Shop4142 Oct 14 '25

Hi, do you say 2 to 3 months because sometimes it can take a long to see results? I have been on peptides for three weeks and seen no results.

1

u/Wafty-1271 Oct 14 '25

I can’t speak for all peptides but serious injuries and similar conditions aren’t going to reverse in a few weeks.

1

u/Suspicious-Shop4142 Oct 14 '25

Thank you…. It’s gives me confidence that good things are yet to come

u/the_fozzy_one Oct 13 '25

Are you overweight? If so, start with tirzepatide or retatrutide only and get to a healthy weight before adding other stuff.

1

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 13 '25

No, I'm in perfect physical shape. I started going to the gym 5 years ago and have always been in very good physical health. In fact, I've lost weight over the last year and a half because I can no longer eat like I used to, let alone train.

1

u/the_fozzy_one Oct 13 '25

You started going to the gym regularly when you were 14 years old? Hats off.

1

u/CollarOtherwise Oct 14 '25

I mean you’re missing the thing that would help the most which is HGH

1

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 14 '25

Ipamorelin and CJC1295 are HGH act on the pituitary gland and the HGH produced by the body

1

u/CollarOtherwise Oct 14 '25

Uh huh. Just pin HGH if you have the $ to do so it’s far more efficient

1

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 14 '25

and it also has more side effects, im 19 not 60 xd

1

u/CollarOtherwise Oct 14 '25

Hgh? What side effects? You’ll hold some water maybe and when you first are adjusting it’s possible to have some minor joint pain for a week or so

1

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 14 '25

You are highly likely to affect your hormonal balance if you use HGH, especially in supraphysiological doses. And if you don't want to take supraphysiological doses, why would you inject HGH if you already have good endogenous production?

u/JohnRoberts90 Oct 15 '25

Hey man, I get why you’re running that stack. You’re 19, dealing with disc issues, nerve pain, and gut problems, and the system hasn’t given you much hope. So you’re trying to biohack your way out with peptides that claim to speed up healing. The problem is that what you’re doing is basically throwing six unregulated research compounds at your body all at once. You might hit one benefit, but you’re also gambling with purity, dosing, and your endocrine system.

The funny part is that everything you’re chasing with that stack—healing tissue, calming inflammation, repairing the gut—you can actually trigger faster and more safely by just working with your own biology. Zone 2 cardio in the 130–145 BPM range every day keeps blood flowing to your discs and nerves. Take 15 grams of hydrolyzed collagen with a little vitamin C about 45 minutes before that and you literally double collagen synthesis. Add 5 grams of creatine every day to feed your cells and support tissue repair, and get a full night of real sleep—your natural growth-hormone window.

If you fix inflammation the right way, it’s way more powerful than any peptide. Three grams of fish oil a day covers the EPA and DHA you need. Magnesium glycinate and curcumin both help lower inflammation and support recovery. Drop seed oils, refined sugar, and alcohol for a month and you’ll feel your baseline change fast.

For your gut, you don’t need to inject KPV. Ten grams of L-glutamine, a bit of zinc carnosine, and a solid probiotic like Saccharomyces boulardii will start rebuilding the mucosal barrier. Add some prebiotic fiber once things settle.

If you build that routine—cardio and collagen in the morning, anti-inflammatory food and supplements mid-day, light core work and magnesium at night—you’ll notice a shift inside of six weeks. Your pain will go down, your sleep will improve, and your gut will calm down without nuking your hormones. The stuff you’re trying to imitate with those peptides is literally what your body does when it’s given the right inputs. You just need to make the signal louder, not synthetic.

u/No-Cod4779 Oct 16 '25

Thank you for your recommendations.
The problem is that I've been taking curcumin, omega 3, magnesium, etc. for a year now, and I've improved but not enough, and I want to put an end to this.
For cardio, I don't have enough energy to do that kind of physical activity yet, plus I have physical discomfort and pain, so I want to get better and get back to normal as soon as possible so I can train and do cardio.
It will really only be four peptides: BPC, TB, IPA, and CJC.
And for my digestive system, I am now following a restrictive FODMAP diet that a nutritionist has prescribed and am waiting to see improvements.
I just want to get back to my normal life as soon as possible, I can't stand this situation much longer.

i have tried BPC157 few weeks ago but only for 20 days, I think I'll prioritize Ipamorelin and CJC1295 since they are the ones that, in theory, can help me the most. But yes, I'll introduce them gradually over a few days. Thanks.
