This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.
- Loading Phase
- Twice weekly
- 4–5mg
- 8–10mg
- 8–12 weeks
- VEGF upregulation, capillary formation, actin-mediated cellular migration
- Standard protocol for establishing perifollicular vascular density. Required before maintenance phase
- Maintenance Phase
- Once weekly
- 2mg
- Ongoing
- Sustained VEGF signaling, vascular network preservation
- Prevents regression of vascular gains after loading phase. Discontinuation typically results in gradual return to baseline
- Conservative Protocol
- 2–3mg
- 4–6mg
- 12 weeks
- Gradual angiogenic stimulation
- Lower-dose alternative for those concerned about systemic vascular effects. Slower observable results
- Combination Protocol (TB-500 + GHK-Cu)
- Twice weekly (TB-500), Daily (GHK-Cu)
- 4mg TB-500, 1–2mg GHK-Cu
- TB-500: 8mg, GHK-Cu: 7–14mg
- Dual angiogenic and anti-androgenic pathways
- Addresses both vascular insufficiency and DHT-mediated miniaturization. Reported superior density improvements in observational reports
- The loading phase establishes the vascular framework; the maintenance phase preserves it. Skipping directly to maintenance dosing produces minimal results because you never reach the threshold VEGF concentration required to trigger new capillary formation.
