What it is

Wolverine is a physician-prescribed compounded blend of two peptides frequently prescribed together for tissue repair: BPC-157, a peptide originally isolated from human gastric juice, and TB-500, a synthetic version of thymosin beta-4, a protein naturally produced by the thymus gland. Both support healing at the cellular level, but through different mechanisms, which is why Dr. Taylor prescribes them as a pair.

How it may help

BPC-157 acts primarily at the site of injury, promoting new blood vessel formation and local repair. TB-500 works systemically, circulating through the bloodstream to support cell migration and tissue repair wherever it is needed. Together they target both localized tissue damage and whole-body recovery, and the combination is associated with faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and support for the gut lining.

Who it may benefit

Athletes recovering from tendon, ligament, or muscle injuries, people with slow-healing wounds or post-surgical recovery needs, those with chronic musculoskeletal injuries that have not responded to conventional treatment, and people with gut issues such as IBS or inflammatory bowel conditions.

What to expect

Many patients report early anti-inflammatory effects within one to two weeks. Tissue repair is typically reported between four and eight weeks, with fuller benefit often building over eight to twelve weeks. Gut-related benefits may be noticed sooner. Dr. Taylor monitors progress and adjusts the protocol as needed.

Safety

Commonly reported side effects are injection site irritation or redness, and, less often, nausea, dizziness, headache, or temporary fatigue. Wolverine is not appropriate with active cancer or a history of malignancy, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for children and adolescents, alongside anticoagulant medications without supervision, or with a family history of stomach or colon cancer. Neither BPC-157 nor TB-500 is FDA-approved; they are compounded peptides prescribed off-label under physician supervision. Note: TB-500 (thymosin beta-4) appears on prohibited substance lists for some athletic governing bodies, so if you compete in a tested sport, discuss this with Dr. Taylor before starting.
