Tibia fracture from skiing — could peptides speed things up?

[Tibial]

Hey everyone, glad to have found this place

A few days back I had surgery after breaking my tibia while skiing. I'd already picked up BPC-157 along with the rest of the supplies, but in the end I backed out — partly because I read about people reacting badly to it, and partly because my surgeon told me it wouldn't do anything for me anyway (from what I gather it doesn't make bone heal faster, though I figured it might still help the bruised meniscus and the strained ACL/MCL — oh well).

So now I'm asking: is there anything peptide-wise that could actually be useful here? Ipamorelin and Tesamorelin have come up in what I've read about injury repair, but I'm not sure I believe the hype. If any of you have dealt with a similar injury and used these or other peptides yourself, I'd really like to hear about it.

Thanks!!

Sure, BPC likely isn't going to speed up bone healing, but when it comes to your recovery and the soft tissue damage around the injury, it will definitely be beneficial. More to the point, the wolverine stack—BPC/TB 500—is what you're after. With Ipamorelin and Tesamorelin, your IGF-1 levels will gradually be raised/optimized, though you should probably get blood work done to confirm they're doing their job. Quicker bone healing can potentially be supported by good IGF-1 levels. That said, these peps will probably only do anything for you if your IGF-1 is low right now. Healing faster is also going to be helped by vitamin D3+K2, calcium and collagen.

That's odd—my surgeon gave me the impression it wouldn't make any difference. Still, thanks for filling me in! Sounds like I should skip tesa and ipa, and instead go with bpc and tb like you suggested.

Appreciate it!

Of course! The majority of physicians and conventional healthcare tend not to favor peptides haha
