12 weeks of peptide therapy w/pictures

[FarmgirlRebel]

I'm 61, I kept the lighting the same, room the same and no makeup rule to document changes.

1. First picture is at the beginning of my research. Massively inflamed, on several pharmaceuticals, grey cast to the skin and hair is extremely frizzy. You can see around the eyes and cheeks how puffy and inflamed everything looks.

2. Second picture is after 4 weeks of peptides. I am now off of all pharmaceuticals except Levothyroxine (for thyroid). My eyes have opened up, my hair is less frizzy and the puffiness is leaving and my face is starting to show it's structure. Hair is less frizzy and the grey cast to the skin is leaving

3. Third picture is 12 weeks into the peptide journey. Skin now showing some fine lines as the swelling is going down (I'm more than okay with this) but is noticeably healthier looking. Swelling around the eyes has continued to reduce and the overall puffiness is starting to fade. Hair is still improving. Still off all pharmaceuticals and my Levothyroxine had to be reduced!

Unexpected change: Hair getting darker, grey receding ...holy cow!

Stacks (not all at once)
Tirz 5mg (ongoing)
GHKcu (ongoing)
NAD+ (ongoing)
KLOW (individual vials/8 week run)
Epithalon 1 cycle
Thymosin Alpha 1 for 1 cycle

I'm taking the month of March off of everything except Tirz and GHKcu for a reset...going to research nootropics over the summer.
So, to the people who say peptides is voodoo snake oil (which are obviously not reading this), I say...really?

Thank you and great job. Cant argue with the proof

Wow - this is an obvious change. I think I need your advise 🙂

I am on Tirz but I have frizzy, grey hair and dry skin (starting to show in my face).
What would be your first option to add?

 

[Peptidesearch]

Are you using anything directly on skin?
I've found Generic Tretinoin cream and Copper Peptide Serum from the Ordinary to be game changers for skincare. Just started GHK-CU Subq, NAD+ is next.

That's impressive results, congrats

Beautiful! It's always so satisfying when you get visual proof that what you are doing is working!

Great job!

Unexpected change: Hair getting darker, grey receding ...holy cow!

You've dropped at least 10 years off your face, holy cow is right!
Any idea which is affecting hair color?

 

[ThatNextGril]

Amazing results!! And you're right, it's evidential proof that the peps do work.

Just curious about your experience with the GHK-cu. How do you avoid the spicy bites? (If you've answered this in another thread, please just point me there!).

 

[FarmgirlRebel]

My first add on was NAD+ then GHKcu...both of these have given me the most obvious gains.

I pull 30units of bac water into the syringe first, then add the GHKcu and it is very diluted.
Also, the longer I have taken it, the less after burn I get and different sites get different results...so for me, on my left side abdomen seems to be the sweet area, don't ask me why, lol

 

[HereKittyKitty]

Holy hell!!!! You look amazing (& were pretty to begin with)!

Have you cycled your GHK? Sorry if this was already asked and answered.

 

[FarmgirlRebel]

I had to go research that as well.
Copper is required for the enzyme tyrosinase, which produces melanin. When copper availability improves, existing follicles can produce darker pigment.

This was a completely unexpected side effect.

 

[HereKittyKitty]

Now I need to know your NAD+ schedule, dosing, and cycling. LOL

No I don't cycle...I stay on it.

I make my own GHKcu serum using cosmetic grade GHKcu and Hyaluronic Acid...I also make a morning serum using GHKcu, Snap 8 and Sny-Ake w/Hyaluronic Acid. I don't know if they do anything, but I just have fun making them like a mad scientist, with a milligram scale and vials all over the place.

 

[HereKittyKitty]

Thanks, you Hot Babe!!! 💋

 

[FarmgirlRebel]

Now I need to know your NAD+ schedule, dosing, and cycling. LOL

I started low (thankfully) at 25mg every other day. I felt the effects immediately (I think my NAD levels were on life support). Now I do 50mg every other day.
I've heard conflicting stories on the need to cycle off NAD, but I'm going to be conservative and go ahead and cycle off for the month of March, see how long I last. 😆

That's exactly how I feel, like when I had a chemistry set as a kid. You should check out Tretinoin it's supposedly the holy grail of skin care that every single Derm. highly recommends.

 

[piccolo101]

Wow, that is amazing!

 

[mtomm]

I'm fascinated by the hair color. I don't understand that at all. It wasn't like you grew out a whole head of new hair in 12 weeks but the gray is disappearing throughout

I thought the exact same thing...how on earth could I get receding grey and hair all glossy w/o a years worth of growth?! But, I went and looked and sure enough, apparently once the follicles (which can be really damaged by inflammation) get healthy it affects the hole shaft of hair. That is where the Tirz and KLOW blend probably helped (inflammation reduction) because while GHKcu does help with some inflammation reduction, it isn't the heavy lifter like the others.
I also found out, GHKcu wont work as well if a person is really inflamed, so getting that inflammation under control is critical for GHKcu to do it's thing.

 

[mtomm]

I'm scared of Klow 😫 because stinging and lumps sound disturbing.
My hair is probably all white in the front with some natural color in the back but I have no idea because I get it colored about every 6 weeks for the last 15 years. I'm 59.
I am so tempted to give it a go though.

Such an Amazing transformation!! Its Amazing something really works to bring back color!! Does the GHKcu burn too? Im still on my 3rd week & still a baby with needles every time, ha ha 🙂

Miss ma'am, look at you... coming in hot with these results 🔥 and not looking 61 at all.
GHK hasnt yet reduced my grey, it anything I think it kinda glitters now? I'm thinking about trying AHKcu for topical application as well.

It's from the GHKcu...it has an after burn especially in the beginning. My body has gotten used to it and it does better when inject on the left side of my abdomen for some reason. I rarely feel anything anymore, but every once in awhile, esp if I change up injection areas, that little Blue Witch rears her ugly head and reminds me that she isn't completely tame.
I wont give it up, we may have a bitter relationship now and again, but I'm keeping her around 😆

Same here, been using ghk cu and glow and klow at different times and my skin is amazing, 6 months in. No regrets
