Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500)

Wolverine is the name used for two peptides taken together: BPC-157 and TB-500. Both are studied for soft tissue repair, including tendons, ligaments, and muscle, in injuries that heal slowly.

Most people who ask about Wolverine are in one of three situations: they are recovering from an injury that has stalled, they are recovering from surgery and want structured support for recovery, or they train regularly and have recurring minor injuries that do not fully resolve.

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. Human evidence is limited, and BPC-157 is not FDA approved.

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. Human evidence is limited, and TB-500 is not FDA approved.

Why they are paired

The two peptides are studied at different points in the same repair process. BPC-157 is associated with blood supply and the structural side of repair. TB-500 is associated with getting cells moving early. Taken together, they address more of the repair sequence than either peptide alone. Neither peptide is proven to heal an injury in humans.

Safety and evidence

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.

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.

Safety monitoring includes a review of your medications and history before prescribing, and follow-up labs and check-ins during the program.

Who it is for

An injury that is healing slower than it should, despite rest and standard rehabilitation.

Recovery after surgery, alongside your surgeon's plan.

Training that produces recurring strains and tendon pain that do not fully resolve.

Who should not use it

Do not use Wolverine if you compete in a tested sport, because both BPC-157 and TB-500 are on the WADA prohibited list. Do not use it if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Do not start before a provider has reviewed your labs and medication list.

How the program works

1. Peptide Intake, $50. A conversation about the injury, your training, your medications, and what you have already tried.
2. Labs. The peptide intake blood draw is $99. If you already have recent labs, send them in instead. We review what is there.
3. Provider review. Our nurse practitioner reviews your labs and history and decides whether Wolverine fits, and at what dose.

4. Enrollment. 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.

What to expect

Enrollment begins only after the intake, labs, and provider review are complete. The provider sets the dose and schedule for the individual. Progress is checked at follow-up appointments, and follow-up labs show whether the plan is working. The provider adjusts the plan based on those check-ins and labs.

Questions

Is Wolverine FDA approved?

No. Neither BPC-157 nor TB-500 is FDA approved, and human trial data is limited. At Infusion IV, prescribing follows labs and a provider review, with monitoring at follow-ups.

Do I need labs first?

Yes. Every peptide program 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 can be used instead.

What does it cost?

Peptide Intake $50. Peptide blood draw $99 if you need one. Wolverine is part of 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. Progress is checked at follow-ups.

Can I use Wolverine if I compete in a tested sport?

No. Both BPC-157 and TB-500 are on the WADA prohibited list. If you compete in a tested sport, Wolverine is not appropriate for you.

Can I use my own recent labs?

Yes. If you already have recent labs, send them in instead of having the peptide intake blood draw. The provider reviews what is there before deciding whether Wolverine fits.
