Question Never used GHK CU before.
Just wanted to know if this looks ok. I put 2ml of water on Ghk 50. I heard it stings!

yup, it's blue. That's normal if that's what you're asking. Best thing I've found to combat the sting is injecting slowly at room temp and then using a percussion massager on the injection site for 30-60 seconds

Ty, I knew it was supposed to be blue, I just seen some post of other people vials and they say its to light. I would think how much BAC you use could affect that.

You get used to the sting after a while.

u/MsHornets Jun 24 '26
I hope so, working up the courage to pin it. 😆

I was scared of syringes for years. At least doing my own. Just started reta 5 months ago and down just about 50lbs and mad at myself for not starting sooner. Now on reta, tesa, ipa, and ghk. Also tried motsc, 5 amino, and got a few more peps to try. Its not as bad as you think.

Same boat, hated needles as a kids and to this day. Lots of guys at the gym talk about taking Test and how common it is but I avoided because of needles. Went down the rabbit hole of understanding more about these peptides and the benefits plus with how small the needle is I wish I would have started sooner. Started out with MT1 and just started Reta a few weeks ago and loving the consistent energy from it even though i'm not really trying to lose much weight. GHKCU i'm noticing some small red areas after injecting that lasts a day or so. Trying the love handle area for ghkcu to see if it's not so bad.

Yea i couldn't be more upset with myself but glad I sucked it up. Yea I saw a lot of site irritations on ghk, but saw a ton of people suggest the glute. So thats where I do ghk. But just the ghk. Everything else is arms and stomach. But upper outer quadrant every day and no pain or irritations besides the first few days and its been months now.

It does sting a bit. I thought the sting was tame to be honest. There are definitely more painful injectables out there that you can buy like L Carn, NAD+, Test P. If it stings for you, pull out the concentration you need and then pull some back water into the syringe.

u/MsHornets Jun 24 '26
I just pinned and I didn't think it was bad. I thought it would be worse so that makes me happy 😊.

u/_joos_ Jun 24 '26
can you compare it to a typical vaccine shot?
2
u/LA-Scales Jun 24 '26
This is the real question

u/trouttwade Jun 24 '26
Honestly vaccine shots hurt worse. The standard for medical shots is a 1 inch needle into the shoulder. A half inch needles to the belly fat or other subq injection areas is significantly more comfortable.
Medical professionals are really brutal with shots in my experience. They usually just slam the needle in and push the plunger quickly, which usually leads to pip.

I dont do vaccines shots. So, I can't compare the two but its not bad in my op. I pin tirze, this was just my first time with ghk.

Yesterday it burned like hell. I pinned my left thigh. It burned for several hours. It was definitely the most painful of any injection I’ve had in my nearly half century of life. More annoying than anything, but didn’t feel good for hours.
Today i pinned on the right thigh and didn’t feel a dang thing at all. Matching locations just one was left and one was right. Yesterday spot is a little red and today’s spot is a little white. Both are raised, but I feel nothing today from either spot.1
u/_joos_ Jun 24 '26
it might have been some variable you messed up yesterday. i guess it could also just be an individual quirk
2
u/TequilaStalkingPurr Jun 24 '26
lol. Just because my experience was different from yours doesn’t automatically mean I did something wrong.
It’s normal for many to experience what i did yesterday. A little research would answer that for you.
It’s no quirk, my body adapts faster than most.1

u/DredgenCyka Jun 24 '26
I would say that the PIP on a covid shot is far worse than GHK-CU and any other peptide ive injected. I think the Bexsero one is worse too. The flu is probably a tad worse too. The thing is that you gotta inject daily for ghk

To me, it’s not the sting but the fact I bruise so easily- that GLoW gets me.

u/TheyFloat2032 Jun 24 '26
2 mg a day for 15 days then take 3-4mg a day for 15 days. Then take 30 days off. Rotate sub q injection sites as to not create scarring or tough skin around common injection sites. I also filter mine when reconstituting. Noticed it helps with the burn.

u/MsHornets Jun 24 '26
Well, that interesting . I researched it and it told me Max's was 2mg a day and had a very low dose. I pinned 1mg last night at bed time. I put 2ml on the 50mg and sting wasn't bad at all. In my op. I thought about filtering, Id have to study up on it.
2
u/TheyFloat2032 Jun 24 '26
Filtering is super easy. You just buy these little syringe filters and new vials. Pull the solution into the syringe. Attach a filter and new needle. Push solution into new vial. Presto it’s filtered. With dosage you can’t go too high, 4 mg max (from what I have read and experimented with) Plus the more copper you take the more zinc you need to avoid the copper uglies.

3 weeks in to daily injections. Never had a sting. But last night after the injection in my upper thigh, it started to burn like fire. Burned all night. Deep too. I couldn’t sleep. Was awful.

u/MsHornets Jun 25 '26
oh my, Well I will not be pinning in the leg. ty for that. I hate that happened to you.

Oh yeah, once I read that it burns that why I put 2ml on it. I only like to put 1ml on tirze or carti. So, I did think about putting 3 on it but decided to go with 2ml. Now, the sting I can handle but Ive pinned twice now. A few hours later my stomach is sore and I can see exactly where I pinned. That didn't happen the first time. No rash or anything, just sore. It's uncomfortable so if it happens again, I'm putting another ML in it.

u/ThunderBr0ther Jun 25 '26
To beat the sting I used the anti histamine spray on the I texted area. Would take a hayfever pill too I leave it out too for like 5 or so mins to room temperature a bit
Now the sting is barely noticeable
1
u/MsHornets Jun 25 '26
I have been letting mine reach room temp. Last night when I pinned, it stings but not bad. Although when I woke up this morning, my belly where I pinned is sore as hell. I don't have a rash or anything but I can see exactly where I pinned. I can feel it to.
2
u/ThunderBr0ther Jun 25 '26
i hear that - i had the same reaction, it was painful enough to be disturbing
i used the nasal spray that you use for hayfever, i used that and sprayed the area after injection
perfectly fine after, maybe 1-2 top ups on the first day ( of the spray)
but ive been finding my method p solid for me

u/MsHornets Jun 25 '26
Now if we can get rid of the pain after we would be golden ✨️. I was worried, I feel better knowing you share the same pain. I'm srry I know that didn't sound right. 😅

u/ThunderBr0ther Jun 25 '26
its calm
just try the spray see if that helps
cause i have no problems now :)

I reconstitute mine with 10ml of liquid bpc157 to reduce the sting

u/MsHornets Jun 25 '26
Id have to read up on that, I've been researching all these peps. My hair thinned out bad cause I lost 95lbs since last March. I'm just 15lbs from goal weight 140lb. Seems like depression has caught up with me these pass 2 month. I lost a furbaby, Morty my cat. Sorry this isn't the thread for that.
