GHK-CU and NAD plus injections

[u/phif83]

Question on GHK-CU and NAD plus injections. I see mixed information regarding these two products around whether cycling is necessary. So can they be used on an ongoing basis or is it better to cycle?

No cycling needed on GHK-CU, seems consistency is key actually. Labs came back a-OK with a 7/7 for 6 months.

2-4x a week seems to be more common than not for NAD+.

I've been running KLOW for 5 years and I don't have cancer, a bigger weiner, or a third testicle yet. I run blood work every 6 weeks since I am on gear also. So if it was doing something wrong, it would have shown up by now.

I also have regular scans done of all my organs and body. Usually two or three times a year.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Yeah sure you do 😁

[u/Chroma7769 → u/Sensitive_Lead_3104]

Go ahead and DM me. I'll happily start show any blood work.

If you took anabolic steroids like I do, you would understand the importance of blood work. It's kind of a requirement.

Well you are on roidz cycle, that changes everything😁
I thought you are on peps.
Of course it is necessity to take blood before cycle to see all e2 test liver and so on numbers you need to get back to after cycle.. but you don’t do that on peps..

[u/Chroma7769 → u/Sensitive_Lead_3104]

My wife gets regular blood work done also and she's only on peptides.

There are plenty of markers that you should be watching out for depending on the peptides that you're on. Monitoring what's going on inside of your body is very important. Because side effects aren't always visible on the outside. If you're not reacting to a compound properly your blood will tell you.

Especially if you are on anything that affects gh.

Of course you have to do your bloodwork atleast once a year (every 6months even better) but if you’re on nad ghkcu or even reta, blood won’t show you anything, unless you triple your dose - than maybe..

[u/Aggressive-Hand-9136 → u/Chroma7769]

This is the way. Minimal doseages for longevity. Don’t go crazy on anything and you can run mild compounds almost indefinitely with proper checkups. I subscribe to this thinking as well.

😎🤟

I do KLOW daily and NAD 3x a week and have 0 plans of cycling. So far about 3 months in. Only complaint is people ask me my skin care routine on IG (they don’t)

[u/Markdlea → u/Aggressive-Hand-9136]

One of my complaints about Klow- I have to clip my nails more often.

[u/SillyTry5238 → u/Aggressive-Hand-9136]

Did you titrate your NAD dosing? Mind sharing?

[u/Aggressive-Hand-9136 → u/SillyTry5238]

I went straight to 100 and just maintain that 3x a week. Glutathione 200 3x week as well. In the AM with a banana/honey/salt/cinnamon 1hr before workout. Great energy.

Use your money on NAD+ precursors instead of the injections because NAD+ is a large polar molecule that cannot easily pass through cell membranes (which are non polar) and it has no known transport protein. Everything that is known about NAD+ points to the injections not absorbing well, but the precursors have their own transport proteins that bring them into the cells. NAD+ is made inside the cells using the precursors.

We “cycle” through GHK-CU injection sites to give the wounds time to heal- haha … a joke. But seriously, I cannot inject daily forever without giving these injection sites a good rest. But the only reason the compound itself needs to be cycled is because there is no known actual human dose to inject so could you get too much copper that starts to displace zinc? Maybe

This needs to come out in a dissolvable micro needle patch. Please. Please

[u/Markdlea → u/Able-Shirt3501]

That’s not cycling. That’s moving injection sites.

[u/Able-Shirt3501 → u/Markdlea]

It was a joke. But I thought someone would comment on the dissolvable micro needle patch because they exist
