The GLP-1 Recovery Stack
Combines tirzepatide's dual-agonist weight loss power with BPC-157 gut protection. The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications are gastrointestinal. BPC-157 directly addresses nausea, GERD, and gut discomfort during dose escalation.

Protocol
| Peptide | Dose | Frequency | Timing | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide | 2.5-15mg | Once weekly | Same day each week | Dual GLP-1/GIP agonist for superior weight loss and metabolic improvement |
| BPC-157 | 250-500mcg | Once or twice daily | Morning (and evening if GI symptoms are significant) | Gut mucosal protection, reduces nausea, supports GI function during titration |
Notes
GI side effects are the number one reason people discontinue GLP-1 medications. BPC-157 addresses this directly by protecting and repairing the gut lining. Many users report that adding BPC-157 allows them to titrate tirzepatide more comfortably and reach effective doses faster. Start tirzepatide at 2.5mg, increase every 4 weeks. BPC-157 can be taken orally (capsule or sublingual) for gut-specific delivery. If GI symptoms are manageable, once-daily BPC-157 is sufficient. If nausea is significant during titration, increase to twice daily. Maintain high protein intake and resistance training during weight loss.
