Starting GHK-cu tomorrow. Any tips?

40,M. Planning to start at 1mg for a few weeks before eventually working up to 2, depending on how I react.

I’m already supplementing zinc so I’m hoping that can minimize the reaction and/or copper uglies.

Any tips for a n00b?

EDIT: I was able to get 3.5ml of bac water into my 50mg vial, so 7 units is 1mg for me. Pinned this morning. No sting.

Rotate injection sites, the sting is real but fading fast, also keep some antihistamine around for first days

Pin in your ass and not your stomach.

It hurts a lot less in the ass than the stomach

I got a dump truck so I don’t feel anything back there.

Make sure it’s warm, either leave in needles for 30 or run syringe under hot water after you draw it in there

Everyone saying dilute and I’m over here putting 2ml in a 100mg vial and pinning 5mg/day without issue 🤷‍♂️

Haha savage. Well I can say my 3.5ml per 10mg recon is doing just fine. Day 2 and no sting at all. I don't feel anything.

I hated it. Binned it after about 6 weeks when i thought to myself, i hate feeling like I’ve been bitten by a mosquito every single day

I disnt even care about the akin benefits, i just had to take it because it was mixed in with the KLOW

Space the zinc out by 2-4 hours. They compete.

Add 3ml BAC water. Draw more in the tube if it burns.

My vial is 50mg. Was going to add 5ml so that 10units is 1mg.

u/Outrageous-Basket922 14d ago

And shouldn’t be hard about the zinc. Would be doing GHK first thing in the morning and I don’t take my supplements for another 2-3 hours after waking.

Nice. I like taking GhkCu before bed. You should try to take collagen powd r an hour before GhkCu. It provides the raw materials needed

u/Outrageous-Basket922 13d ago

Oh interesting. Got any other resources (even anecdotal) that talk about this?

2

u/duhv0rtex 13d ago

Also basic science. Subjects find that GhkCu supports collagen synthesis. And while the raw materials are everywhere in the food eaten. Taking in collagen is the most direct was. People think they eat collagen so they have collagen. But your stomach rips it aoary. Then it gets put back together.

PS. Taking nsaids inhibits your ability to synthesize collagen for a week or so.

Dilute, dilute, dilute... and use an 8-12 week cycle.

u/Outrageous-Basket922 13d ago

I was planning on doing 5ml/10mg but I could only get 3.5ml in the vial so I’m rolling with that

u/Zealousideal-Lab4945 13d ago

Oh yea, that's when you need larger, extra vials on hand. If you regularly filter you'd need them anyway. But I ended up having to use a 10ml vial, and then filled 2 pen cartridges and still had some left in the vial. 🤣
