GLOW Stack: BPC-157 + TB-500 + GHK-Cu (What It Is, What It Does, and What the Research Shows)
By PeptideWikiTeam
The GLOW Stack pairs BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu—peptides researched for injury recovery, connective tissue healing, angiogenesis, and skin repair.
GLOW Stack: BPC-157 + TB-500 + GHK-Cu What It Is, What It Does, and What the Research Shows
The GLOW stack is a popular "peptide stack" that combines BPC-157, TB-500 commonly discussed alongside thymosin beta-4 / Tβ4, and GHK-Cu copper peptide. It's discussed most often for two reasons:
- Recovery-focused themes soft tissue repair, inflammation, angiogenesis
- Aesthetics-focused themes skin remodeling, collagen signaling, wound healing
This post explains what the GLOW stack is, why it's popular, what each component does, and what studies have shown.
Important: These compounds are widely discussed online, but they are not FDA-approved for medical use in this context, and much of the evidence is preclinical cell/animal studies. Human safety, dosing, and long-term outcomes are not established.

What Is the GLOW Stack?
The GLOW stack typically refers to:
- BPC-157 – a stable gastric pentadecapeptide studied for tissue protection and repair signaling
- TB-500 – commonly marketed as a thymosin beta-4–related peptide; many published studies are on thymosin beta-4 / Tβ4, not TB-500 specifically
- GHK-Cu – a copper-binding tripeptide studied for skin repair, remodeling, and gene expression changes relevant to regeneration
Why It's Called "GLOW"
The nickname comes from the idea that stacking repair + recovery signaling BPC-157, thymosin beta-4–related research with skin remodeling signaling GHK-Cu may support a "glow" look—i.e., healthier-looking skin—while staying in...
