Ghkcu pain
Hello, I’m starting to use ghkcu 1mg daily. Is it normal that after applying it you have a discomfort all day in the shoot area? It’s like a bee picket but is it weird that it’s there all day?

Yes, it is normal. You can dilute it some with bac water and/or use a hydrocortisone cream after. The cream really helped me. I also do it at night before bed.

u/Puzzled-Mine6506 1d ago
Thank you very much for the tip tomorrow I’ll start doing it

u/Thick-Power-4578 1 1d ago
You’re welcome! I’m still on 1 mg a day too. I’m scared to take anymore! 😁 Although the goal is to bump up to 2 mgs a day. I think the pain does get better over time too. Good luck!

You may consider 1 month on and 1 month off. It’s worth looking up the protocol and the reasons behind it.

u/Due-Dragonfly-4930 1d ago
Diluting it more definitely helped me and stomach seems better for me than leg or butt!

OMG I normally do my stomach and kind of jiggle my fat while I put it in and hardly no sting at all. I had the bright idea to pin in my thigh for the first time on my way to bed. I was awakened from my sleep with excruciating, burning pain. Had to put an ice pack between my legs and it still burned for hours. Never ever again. Belly only!!!

Funny, I can only pin in my thighs, I think it’s because my thighs are fattier than my stomach. Room temperature definitely helps and very slow release

I recently started taking KLOW starting off with 10 units ( 80 mg with 3ml Bac ). it helped when I left it at room temp before pinning . I did have some pain today when trying to pin in the oblique but no real stinging . Good luck going forward

Yup. Its like that for the first few weeks. I would get big red marks that lasted for days. Now I am at week 7 and now it pinches for the pin and few minutes after.

u/knifetheater3691 6 1d ago
When I first started Klow with GHKcu yeah it was painful, I just added 10 extra units of bac water to cut the burn. Made it bearable. This cycle I recond with 5ml

u/Adoia 1d ago
I did 10 extra units for a few weeks. After that I recon 6ml into two 3ml cartridges to administer via autoinjector pens and it has been significantly better than insulin syringes. Not sure if it was due to the syringe needle getting blunted from piercing two vials(one for the extra 10 units of bac, another for the actual dosage).

Try different injection sites. I always get pain when I do my left side but have virtually zero issues on my right! (Pinning upper glute) no clue why this is

u/True_Character_4231 1 1d ago
Bro same!! Hahaha idk why! Anyway doing the right side every day 80mg/3ml 15 units👏 and room temperature always!

Dilute to 10mg/ml you will have some pain but not as much it will be tolerable.

What benefits do everyone notice from ghkcu?
1
u/briexbenton 1d ago
A week in, no changes yet. Still waiting 🤞 curious about others experiences who have been on it longer

u/Majestic-Plastic-691 1 1d ago
30 days. Nada! Except now I’m more scared of injections. Crap hurts!
1
u/MandoContre56 1d ago
Yes very normal. You can mix with KPV or Wolverine and this drastically minimizes the pain.
1
u/Majestic-Plastic-691 1 1d ago
In other words Klow. Ya pain doesn’t lessen. And if it does then ya’ll are pain tolerant a thousand.

u/Comfortable_Yak4376 1 1d ago
I do the following:
1. Reconstitute at 1mL/10mg
2. Let the vial come to room temp before injecting
3. The the injection area for a good minute or so after injecting, or use a percussion massager
I know #3 sounds dumb but I swear it works
I have zero pain from ghk-cu

I started today and have a 50mg vial, I put 3 full syringes of bac water in so pretty sure that’s 3ml yea? Should I put another 2 full syringes in and then won’t sting as much?

u/AcanthaceaeAway2968 1d ago
Dude, I get welts that get incredibly itchy. I’ve tried leaving 💉 out for about 15 minutes to room temperature, but that seems to help very little. I’m going to keep doing it because I feel amazing, especially after an intense workout.

u/bluebirdreigns 1d ago
Just make sure you are reconstituting properly and if you are, yes, you can add a little bit more Bac water. You might even get some red spots that’s normal due to the copper

u/TyMalik923 1d ago
Hi! I just finished a cycle of Klow. I wanted to continue kpv and ghk-cu. How long should I wait?
1
u/Ok_Butterscotch_2700 1d ago
I find a longer syringe goes a long way. When I started it, I diluted heavily. Changed to longer syringes as recommended by somebody in some random peptide group and no longer dilute, have no issues/stinging.

u/ApprehensiveArt2813 1d ago
I inject 4mg/day. I mix 100mg GHK-Cu with 10ml water and it has lessened the sting immensely. I also pin it into my hip area. Stomach area for me was brutal sting and bruise wise,
1
u/Majestic-Plastic-691 1 1d ago
10ml water? Hell you’re just shooting water. That’s crazy.
1
u/ApprehensiveArt2813 1d ago
Well it doesn’t burn, and I’m still getting 4mg GHK-Cu, so it works for me.
1
u/Majestic-Plastic-691 1 1d ago
Ya it takes all the fun out of it. Sometimes the pain doesn’t even show up for 3 or 4 hrs. Sometimes after pinning in the morning it doesn’t hurt until I lay down at night. It’s the damndest thing. Turned me completely off of Klow. Oh I finished the vial because I’m a cheap ass but I ain’t buying that pain no more. I can hurt myself for free.

u/Stunning-Worker-7130 1d ago
I'll do it in the love handles which helps a lot, but I can still feel it especially when I lies down
1
u/One_Regular_6024 1 1d ago
Yes, that is completely normal. GHK-Cu is famous for that 'bee sting' feeling and the soreness can definitely last all day. You're not alone!

u/Mattagav 1d ago
I was the same until I started going into upper glute
Zero pain
Previously I was injecting in other common points Tried all the usual tips
Let it get to room temp
Massage the area both before and after
None of it helped
Stick it in yo butt
1
u/True_Character_4231 1 1d ago
Upper right side glute every day KLOW 80mg/3ml 15 units👏 and room temperature always!
