Protocol 3: disc herniation or bulge (intermediate-advanced) Goal: Support disc healing and reduce nerve irritation from herniated or bulging discs Peptides: BPC-157 : 500mcg twice daily, emphasis on lumbar subcutaneous injection TB-500 : 2.5mg twice weekly loading, 2mg weekly maintenance GHK-Cu : 1-2mg daily for collagen and tissue support Duration: 12-16 weeks minimum for disc healing Why this works: BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis that may improve disc nutrition
Physical Therapy: Plays a key role in recovery, helping to strengthen the quadriceps and surrounding muscles, improve flexibility, and restore safe movement patterns
