Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500)
Wolverine is the name people use for two peptides taken together: BPC-157 and TB-500. Both are studied for the same job, helping soft tissue repair itself. Tendons. Ligaments. Muscle. The injuries that heal slowly and complain the whole way.
Most people who ask us about Wolverine are in one of three spots. They are rehabbing an injury that has stalled. They are coming back from surgery and want the recovery to count. Or they train hard and keep collecting small injuries that never fully clear.
BPC-157
BPC-157 is a short chain of amino acids modeled on a protein found in the stomach. In research settings it has been studied for its role in blood vessel growth and tissue repair, including tendon and ligament healing in animal studies. It is also the half of the pair most often tied to gut health, since the original compound comes from the digestive system.
TB-500
TB-500 is a lab-made fragment of thymosin beta-4, a protein your body releases at injury sites. Its studied role is cell movement: getting repair cells to where the damage is. Animal research has looked at it for wound healing, inflammation, and recovery after injury.
Why they are paired
The two peptides are studied at different points in the same process. BPC-157 is associated with blood supply and the structural side of repair. TB-500 is associated with getting cells moving early. Taking them together covers more of the repair sequence at once. The name is a nod to the character who heals from almost anything. The real version is slower, and it comes with labs and a provider watching it.
What the research does and does not show
Straight answer: the promising data is mostly from animal studies. Human trials on BPC-157 and TB-500 are small and limited, and neither peptide is FDA approved. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
What we can say: both peptides have a long research history, a plausible way of working, and clinicians who use them with monitoring. What we cannot say is that they are proven. At Infusion IV, Wolverine is prescribed by our provider after labs and a review of your history, and your progress gets checked instead of assumed.
One more fact for athletes: both substances are on the WADA prohibited list. If you compete in a tested sport, this is not for you.
Who it fits
An injury that is healing slower than it should
Recovery after surgery, alongside your surgeon's plan
Training that keeps producing strains and tendon pain that never quite resolve
Skip it if you compete in a tested sport, if you are pregnant or planning to be, or if you want to start before a provider has seen your labs and your medication list.
How it runs at Infusion IV
Peptide Intake, $50. A conversation about the injury, your training, your medications, and what you have already tried.
Labs. The peptide intake blood draw is $99. If you already have recent labs, send them in instead. We review what is there.
Provider review. Our nurse practitioner reviews your labs and history and decides whether Wolverine fits, and at what dose.
The program. Wolverine is part of our CORE+ peptide program, $699 a month. Your dose is set for you, your progress is checked at follow-ups, and follow-up labs show whether the plan is doing its job.
Questions
Is Wolverine FDA approved?
No. Neither BPC-157 nor TB-500 is FDA approved, and human trial data is limited. We prescribe it with labs, monitoring, and honest expectations.
Do I need labs first?
Yes. Every peptide program here starts with labs and a provider review. The Peptide Intake is $50, and the peptide blood draw is $99 if you need labs drawn. Recent labs from your own provider work too.
What does it cost?
Peptide Intake $50. Peptide blood draw $99 if you need one. Wolverine sits in the CORE+ peptide program at $699 a month.
How long do people run it?
It depends on the injury and on what your follow-up labs and check-ins show. Your provider sets the schedule with you at the review. Nobody here gets put on a program and forgotten.
