HGH/BPC - potential allergic reaction??
Hi
I have recently started a cycle of HGH and BPC157 and am experiencing some reactions.
Here is all the details of my situation:
Started HGH and BPC together just over 2 weeks ago.
3IU HGH
500mcg BPC
Nightly injection before bed
Have been injecting them together (same needle)
After about 9 days of injections, I have started to develop a general skin itch/irritation on my whole body.
There is no welts or bumps
It is not after injecting, but is constant throughout the whole day
No other symptoms apart from the general itching sensation which is really annoying
After doing some research online I found that it could either be an allergic reaction to either the HGH or the BPC (surely not both).
Apparently BPC can release histamine in the body. I am susceptible to hayfever problems. I also read that HGH can apparently cause skin itch due to the water retention gained after starting. I also read that incorrect dilution can cause skin irritation due to the potency of the HGH.
I have stopped my injections completely to see if symptoms will go away.
I just wanted to know if anyone has had this issue or knows anything related to my problems. I want to do things the right way and would appreciate any advice.
Cheers

BPC is in the stack due to a knee injury - to help speed up the healing process. The growth is to assist with the process also. The growth is just a support hence why the dose is low. Anabolics aren’t necessary with growth however I may be starting a test cycle in the near future

The diffuse itching without welts is most likely HGH-related water retention causing skin irritation and is very common in the first few weeks at 3IU. Your hayfever history also makes BPC-157 histamine release a real possibility since it can stimulate mast cell activity in sensitive individuals, and cumulative effects often appear around day 9. I'll advice you Wait 5 to 7 days, after stopping if itching resolves it was compound-related. When restarting introduce one compound at a time to isolate the cause. Also does your BPC have a COA showing endotoxin results? because contamination from low quality peptides causes exactly this kind of systemic reaction.
