KLOW 80mg: 5 On 2 Off - Bro Science?

I'm trying to find some legit reasons for the '5 on, 2 off' thing with KLOW. Some do it, others go daily. Anyone got any solid clinical evidence? Or is it all just something someone made up?
 
I've seen people say you can do it for 6-8 weeks straight, then take a month or so off. Seems like everyone has their own way, nothing seems written in stone. I'm planning on doing 8 weeks on, then a month off myself.
 
I heard that the 5 on/2 off thing started because some clinics are closed on weekends. A lot of people here take it every day for months and say they feel fine.
 
Okay, buckle up for a science dump, since you asked.

There aren't any proper studies on KLOW or GLOW in humans or animals.

BPC 157 has had a few small human trials (arthritis, cystitis, basic safety). Most research is from one small group and seems a bit suspect. DOI: 10.3390/ph16050676. They seemed to overstate its effectiveness. No real research anywhere else.

GHK-Cu has been tested on humans, but only on the skin, not injected or taken orally. It's not being developed for full-body use.

Thymosin beta 4 is being tested in humans after heart attacks, and for basic safety.

KPV seems to be mostly researched as nanoparticles for ulcerative colitis, far from human trials.

These peptides definitely do *something* in the body. The problem is, they're hard to patent, so companies won't fund research. Drug companies want compounds with one specific, well-understood effect so they can predict the results and avoid surprises. Most of the peptides in KLOW have broad effects on many systems, and we don't fully understand them. Studying all these effects would take a ton of research *before* human trials.

Just because something works in the lab or on animals doesn't mean it will work on humans. There are tons of Alzheimer's treatments that work on mice, but they've all failed in humans.

Many people online say it helps with healing, which is interesting, but not proof. Before science, people believed in all sorts of weird treatments. (Leeches, anyone?)

The biggest concern is that many of these peptides affect growth signals and angiogenesis, which could potentially cause tumors. They're not likely to be developed as drugs, and I doubt anyone will test KLOW on humans due to the complexity and unpredictability of its effects.
 
Thanks, everyone! I figured it was mostly bro science. I'm on the fence about the 5 on/2 off thing, since I'm pretty active and want to recover well and keep inflammation down.

I'm on day seven of KLOW 80mg and decided to stick with daily doses for up to 12 weeks, then take a month off. I think my forehead wrinkles looked a little less deep last night. Might just be me, but I'm going to start taking pictures to track any changes.
 
Could be, but a lot of people notice a slight skin puffiness when they first start KLOW. It's not like permanent collagen growth, more like a hyaluronic acid serum effect. A nice little boost for the first week.
 
Got anything that's *not* guesswork that contradicts that? I'd love to find something that says cycling isn't needed.
 
Well, copper buildup in the blood is a possible reason to cycle it.

I took 2mg of ghk-cu daily for months and my copper levels were fine. I don't use bpc/tb with it, though. I save those for acute injuries.
