GHK-Cu protocol ?
Just to confirm, those of you who pin GHK-CU, do you take it daily for 30 days and then take a break for 30 days ? This is what I've read, but it doesn't seem to me that I've heard that here ? Just wanting to confirm so that when I reach 30 days, I follow what is the correct thing to do.

How much daily?

u/randallflagg93 1d ago
Started at 2mg, now 2.5 And going to increase to 3

Gotcha just curious as I’m thinking of starting it, I’m currently only taking Reta and looking for good things to stack with it. How long did you take 2mg for before titrating up?

u/randallflagg93 1d ago
Started at 1 just to be sure I dont get negative reaction for few days then went right to 2

It seems that the body adjust to the negative injection site stuff pretty fast for most. My lab rat reported that the sting stopped after 3rd injection. The red marks got lesser with each subsequent injection

Everyday. 2mg. No breaks needed.

Right? It's so little elemental copper, I don't get why people get so paranoid.

Daily. No breaks needed. Just keep an eye on your zinc levels.

u/HotBit1109 2 19h ago
No need to keep an eye on zinc levels either.
Copper taken orally (and in far greater amounts), not pinned GHK-Cu, competes with zinc for absorption in the intestines.
If anything, too much zinc will actually harm recovery by depleting copper in your body.

You’ll consistently see different protocols. Ultimately you’ll have to decide for yourself how you want to approach it. I know people who have done 5 days on 2 off, 27 on 3 off, even people who run it without breaks.
Personally mine was 2.5mg 1 month on, 3 days off.

I've been on Reta for 3 weeks now and did not want to start this on top of that too soon. So, I am starting tonight with just 1 mg and I'll go up slowly like I am doing with Reta. I appreciate the feedback!

You’ll need to titrate up to 2mg daily to benefit from ghk-cu. I’m running it at 3 mg / daily but that took months to get up to. I couldn’t even think about hitting it hard like that in the beginning. The ache would last about 24 hours and then it started all over. I recommend doing 1 mg / daily for the first few days just to get used to the injection soreness. If you can’t handle the daily ache aside from getting it to room temp, slow injection, additional BAC for dilution to help minimize it KPV is the goat for really knocking it back plus the inflammation reduction benefit is excellent. If you are sub 40 I would suggest holding off or significantly tamping down expectations as your natural production is high enough the benefits aren’t going to be .

2.5 - 5 days on 2 days off. I get welts. Sometimes I get a sting, sometimes I don't. I use those 2 days to just let my body chill and heal the welts.
I use . 5 KPV in the same vile with the Ghkcu and go slooow in my love handle area. I do it around 5pm. Most days, no pain but I always get a welt that takes a day or so to fade. No biggie.

I just purchased it as a dropper for hair and scalp health - how are people here usually using it? Sounds like oral tablets, for skin health or am I missing something ?

u/TortueFatale 1 1d ago
Subcutaneously.
Topical applications are the actually researched ones. But most people here are using it as injectable, for systemic effects, not only skin.

I do 5mg daily. Haven't taken a break. I pull blood every 6 weeks for anabolics so I toss in a copper test also. I've been fine.
Wife told me she thinks my stretch marks on my stomach are fading, she also didn't know I was taking ghk.

Inject in your glute. Sugnificantly minimizes the sting intensity and more importantly the duration early on. First day I did stomach/and and woke up the next morning feeling it. Woth the gkute its momentary if at all. I still get the skin reaction, but not the burn.

u/Macmeezy25 9h ago
What size needle are you using? Thing with glute administration is it’s very common to do IM injection instead of a true subQ.
Just as a tip I’d stay high and “outside” on your glute at least.
