I presume everything is going to be painful because I am a physical coward 😂😂😂
GHK-Cu Fears
- Thread starter HistLady
- Start date
Anything that has GHK-Cu in it, dilute it in 10 ml of BAC water, and you should be good to go. At the beginning I didn't have a 10 ml vial, so I'd draw my GHK-CU dosage into the syringe and then draw some BAC water into the same syringe to dilute it further.

Its really not that bad. I barely notice it. Just try it and you can add more bac or mix it with something else if it really bothers you.
Ive been mixing it with bcp in the same syringe for convenience and it doesn't sting at all with it. 500mcg(10 units) bcp, 2.5mg(15 units) ghk.

I reconstituted with 3ml because that's what fit, I'm going to use with kpv because I use that every day anyway, and they're mixable, and the kpv is supposed to mitigate the sting...I am my own science experiment!

I've been on KLOW for four months and have never experienced and discomfort or pain beyond what normal sq shots give me. I use 3 ml of BAC water for KLOW80.
I am now super invested in your journey. Please do update!
By around 615 eastern tomorrow morning, you'll probably know, unless I'm crying 😂😂😂

Every vial I get, whether it's 10mg, 20mg, 25mg, or 30mg peptide, they are all the same size. 3ml BAC water is what fits, so I just do that and do the math.

I must not be in the majority as I have never had a reaction or pain from ghk cu, glow or klow.

I too was experiencing pain and burning with the first few doses, but learned that diluting the GHK-Cu with an additional 20 units of Bac water made the pain go away. U shouldn't mix the other peptides with it, since they have a different PH and it can reduce their efficacy, so I've heard. U will want to take some Zinc when u take the GHK-Cu, since the Cu is copper, and they compete for the same receptors, it seems to balance them out so ur not getting to much of one or the other when taking them. Also u'll want to take vitamin C, to help with assimilation of the copper, and to prevent some pretty serious headaches. Selenium and Molybdenum are also recommended, as they are needed as building blocks of collagen. U may also want to supplement with collagen, the raw material that u may be trying to build in your skin and bones.
Klow is a blend of four peptides in the same vial (ghkcu, bcp, tb500, kpv), Glow it the first three. There's also a "beauty blend" that is just kpv and ghkcu. Some peptides can be mixed together.
I'm just mixing mine straight in the syringe, though, cause I won't risk the precious kpv en masse for the possible nightmare ghkcu 😂😂😂

Let me know how this goes as this is exactly what I’m gonna be doing for my partner

I have same concerns, have everything ready to go but still hesitating as it's a daily pin.
My notes say:
More bac
Room temp before injecting
Upper glutes
Numbing cream
Longer 8 or 12mm needle
Inject slowly
Zinc supplements

Best of luck! May your butt not be sore.

I've done all of these things except numbing cream.
When I was first nervous I used an ice pack.
I think once you try it you will realise it's not that bad.
I no longer wait until room temp, but I use pens now so that's not really an option.
The injection is the easiest part.

I've also seen people say massage afterwards, I've tried and didn't really notice a difference. I just do a little wiggle anyway.
Thanks for the extra information on supplements. I already take collagen, vitamin C, and zinc l-carnosine. I will look into the others.

What does the carnosine do for u?
I've always had stomach issues, including horrendous acid issues, and the zinc plus DGL keeps everything in check for me. I really try not to take Pepcid or anything like that.

U may have a food allergy, my son used to have horrible acid reflux, we discovered that he was allergic to tomatoes. Didn't know what DGL was until I looked it up, never heard of it before. Just to make sure, is it a licorice root extract?
One thing I forgot to mention is that I always shoot the GHK in the glute, tried the belly fat and it burned for days. Glute much more tolerable.

Just read this on the two, L-carnosine and DGL,
- DGL (The Soother): This licorice root extract stimulates the body’s natural production of mucus. This creates a thick, protective physical barrier over the delicate tissues of the esophagus and stomach, providing immediate relief from acid, spicy foods, or occasional heartburn.
- L-Carnosine (The Repair Agent): When combined with zinc (creating Zinc L-carnosine), this amino acid compound acts directly on the cells of the gut lining. It sticks to inflamed or damaged areas and actively promotes tissue regeneration, tightens loose gut junctions, and reduces inflammation.
I take the zinc first thing in the morning and chew the DGL 20 minutes before each meal. I also drink marshmallow root tea and chamomile tea. I hope you get relief--stomach issues are so miserable.
It is deglycyrrhizinated licorice root. I am having some testing done. I think we are going to try H.Pylori first and if that comes back negative, we will probably move on to other things. I will ask my PCP about food allergies/intolerances.

I'm just finishing up a cycle my first cycle of ghk-cu. I started pinning subq on my stomach, which left huge, red, itchy welts that would then bruise and not go away for at least a few weeks! This was with 3 ml bac water to 50mg ghk-cu at room temp. I couldn't see myself doing that everyday!
What I do now is still at the same concentration and at night but moved over to using a pen with 8 mm pen needle on my glutes. Straight out of the fridge. I also use numstat antiseptic numbing wipes instead of regular alcohol wipes (found on Amazon). I rub that for at least 60 seconds before injecting. I found this really helps avoids or at the very least minimize the pain significantly. The only times I've had pain this way is if I accidentally hit a vein or small blood vessel. I still bruise but no welts or itchiness and the bruises doesn't last as long.

Dan I wish this thread was around literally a month ago 😂
I did the try hard thing and split it into cartridges, while also filtering. I already have it super diluted, so at least the pain in the ass is only metaphorical.

Okay, as a physical coward, I had wanted to dilute with like 10ml of bac. But that involves buying another sterile vial and work so ultimately I just diluted with 3ml.
Just pinned 500mcg ghk-cu (.5mg or 3unit by my concentration) mixed in same syringe with 750mcg(.75mg, or 10 units by my concentration) kpv.
Pinned in outer upper thigh fat while sitting.
Did not let come to room temp because I'll never have that kind of patience.
Feel nothing different than with the kpv.
Will continue with .5mg with my kpv this week, will move up to 1mg next week if no issues, and so on and so forth up to 2mg.
I'll of course update if I get sudden stinging at any point, but walking around typing this ten minutes later, no untoward feeling at all.

Lots of bac water. You will be fine.

I finally did it! 1mg, only 6 units on the syringe and diluted it all the way to the 30 mark with BAC. It didn't hurt, but now I am going to get BAC poisoning 😱. Whew, I'm just going to go with 1.5mg tomorrow and dilution of half because that didn't sting at all, yet...

1 G or 1 Mg ????
I recon with 3ml bac water and then draw up another 25-30 units of bac water before injecting. The first time, I'm not gonna lie stung bad for 2-3 days. Each one was less and less and now I do not even feel it anymore.
