Thread below

👇 👇

First things first, make sure nutrition is on point

Minimally:

-1g protein/lb bodyweight

-1 gallon of water

-Caloric surplus (can't expect to heal optimally if in a catabolic state) 300-500 calories is sufficient

Now the stack, in no particular order

Vitamin C

-Helps synthesize collagen

-Bone and tendon health

-Start at 1g/day and titrate up pending tolerance (diarrhea is only concern)

Omega 3s

-Helps reduce muscle loss

-Reduce systemic inflammation

-Speeds up collagen synthesis

-5g/day. Studies suggest even up to 15g

Zinc

-Improves wound healing, tissue repair and growth

-Picolinate or bisglycinate

-50mg/day

-Pair with copper

Creatine

-Attenuates muscle loss

-Reverse tendon deterioration

-5-10g/day (5g if under 200lbs, 10g if over)

Glucosamine

-Helps promote tendon, ligament, cartilage growth

-Reduce joint wear and tear

-Studies show improved joint motion vs a placebo at 1.5g/day

Magnesium

-Reduce oxidative stress

-Collagen synthesis

-Regulates connective tissue healing

-A million other bodily functions

-Start at 600mg/day and titrate up

L Citrulline/Arginine

-Use one or both

-Nitric oxide precursor ➡️ fracture healing

-Improved circulation ➡️ better systemic healing

-9g/day

Collagen

-Supplementing leads to 20% increase in collagen synthesis

-Tendon healing

-20-30g/day

Bonus : Bone Healing

-Vitamin K: Shuttles calcium to bones ➡️ 100mcg/day

-Boron: Improved calcium and magnesium retention ➡️ 6-12mg/day

-Inositol: Calcium absorption ➡️ 2g/day

Double Bonus: Peptides/Drugs

✔️ BPC-157

✔️ TB500

✔️ HGH

BPC-157

-Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

-Collagen formation

-More site specific

-250mcg/day

TB500

-Angiogenesis

-Cell migration and proliferation (increase in number of cells)

-More systemic in nature

-2-5mg twice a week, separated by 3.5 days

HGH

-Cell proliferation

-Increase IGF-1

-IGF-1 accelerates tendon healing/growth

-1-2iu/day
