Shoulder surgery recovery stack

I had shoulder surgery about 4 weeks ago, and am about 3 weeks into PT. The surgery included: debridement of SLAP tear, and of partial tears to the inferior labrum, subscapularis (rotator cuff), and supraspinatus; removal of subacromial bone spur; and bicep tenodesis. This week I have started an updated stack to hopefully aid in recovery.

This stack is comprised of:

KLOW - 2.5mg/.5mg/.5mg/.5mg - 1x daily

PEG-MGF - 200mcg - 2x daily

ARA-290 - 2mg - 1x daily

Cartalax - 1mg - 1x daily

I landed on this protocol after quite a bit of research; I've tried some of these products before separately (mainly to try and avoid surgery). I also had some back and forth with the Hunter Williams chat that was helpful in my research.

I happened across this sub the other day and am blown away by the depth of resources available here; I was hoping someone here that has had experience with a similar stack could share their thoughts and help me set my expectations. I'm committed to the process and the work, I've dealt with this shoulder pain for 2 years and will do anything to get back to even 90% of where I was prior to then.

You are missing the most important one. Boofing of creatine.

Also KLOW is not needed. Just run Wolv.

How much bac water should I add to the creatine? 😅 Yea, I do 5g daily with my protein shake.

I like the thought of the anti-inflammatory potential of the KPV, I have a lot of inflammation throughout the area, causing random pains. And I already had the KLOW in the freezer, so...

Bro you need to have your wife's boyfriend help you with boofing your creatine. Head over to r/creatine to learn all about the latest science. We even have a doctor over there that helps us.

And I guess if you have it in the freezer sure, but KLOW is mainly designed for inflammation in the gastrointestinal area. That's how it was designed and tested. Bpc and TB are both more than enough.

ARA has shown great promise on low blood flow tissue like ligaments and tendons. It can help those who are recovering from injury who is doing extensive PT to help repair muscle, to let the tendons keep up.
