Which labs should I actually pull before my first cycle?

Honestly for BPC alone, I'd pull a basic CBC, CMP, and lipid panel. $40-60 at any discount lab. That's enough for a pre-cycle baseline given how little BPC interacts with systemic metabolism.

If you were doing GH or GLP-1, full Tier 1. BPC specifically is one of the lowest-risk peptides from a systemic-labs perspective.

Agreed. Minimum viable: CBC, CMP, lipid. Add HbA1c if you want a metabolic baseline for future cycles. Total cost cash-pay via Ulta/Marek: under $60.

Okay, that's much more manageable. Thanks.

I did the same minimal 3-panel before my first BPC cycle. More than enough.
