GHK-Cu Fears

[coach chickpea]

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!

On a serious note, how do you reach your glute? I’m really not flexible and I struggle to reach with my opposite hand to pinch the skin.

Use my glute for all pins now... way less reactions if any

The fear is real. It is why I have not started GHK yet.
I read someone's post on Peppy's...they added phosphate buffered saline (2ml bac to 1ml buffered saline). They said it was not spicy. I think I may try this.

I did 1.7 today, my 2nd day. First day I did 1 and it stung for quite a while. Today it stung a little going in, but that is it. Same dilution. I reconstituted a 50mg vial of GHK cu with 3ml BAC water. Then I did my 1mg, which was 6 units on the syringe. So I diluted it again, by filling the entire rest of the 30ml syringe with BAC water. Today, I took 10 units of the GHK cu which was 1.7mg, and did the same thing, so it was a little less diluted and it hurt less. My wife did for the first time today, 1mg and she said it stung for about 4-5 minutes.

So, YMMV, but I'm a big coward about pain and after 2 injections, I'm no longer scared of it. You'll be fine, just dilute it so that it's very light blue. I'd imagine if you inject a deep blue syringe of this stuff, it's going to hurt.

I just told my wife that she can get a pen. She is going to have a pen with butterflies and little jewels all over it for sure by next week.

Pens seem sooooo complicated to me. I figured out crypto and the grey market just fine but I think pens would defeat me.

I didn't feel any sting off the GHK cu today, 3rd injection still at 1.7mg. Will go to 2 tomorrow. So it seems for me, you get used to it and the sting goes away.

They are really easy. The most difficult part is filtering and filling the cartridge...but really only one more step then reconstituting a vial. The rest is a breeze...especially if researching more than once a week.

I appreciate the discussion and all the good info in this thread but i would like to ask a question if thats okay.

When does this stinging/burning feeling occur? I have pinned Ghk-cu for 3 days bow, 50mg + 3ml bac and just under 2mg each pin and what i have felt so far is a slight stinging feeling and a little red around the pin site but i would say its 1/10 on my pain scale or less. Should i be worried the side effects are still to come or is there a chance om Lucky and this is all i get?

Honestly, even if it sucks for you, it’ll suck for 24 hours but it’s not horrible. Maybe a sleepless night and plenty of time to question your life choices. But you might want to just try a small pin without anything extra to see how you react to it. You may be one of the very blessed who doesn’t feel any burn or post-injection pain. (And don’t declare victory immediately. For me, the pain starts after a few hours.)

My recommendations in order for mitigating pain are:
1) First try the extra BAC method.
2) Add GHK-Basic. Anywhere from a 1:1 ratio or a 5:1 ratio (Cu:basic) will usually take care of the issue.
3) Add some epi/lido. The lido will only help with any immediate injection site burn or pain you get but the epi will help mitigate the histamine response that causes most of the issue.

I rotate using BPC, KPV, and TB4 anyway, but none were ever sufficient to mitigate the Cu problems. Some people swear by it. One thing I’ve learned through reading dozens of discussions about this is that everyone reacts differently. My recommendations above are listed in order of ease and cost effectiveness.

For me, #2 is the most effective and the only thing I do at this point. (No extra BAC. No more epi/lido anymore.) GHK-Basic can sometimes be hard to come by but it’s pretty readily available at the moment. And a little bit goes a long way.

Good luck!

I just ordered me a kit of GHK-Basic, as I have tried the Klow with extra BAC, extra- extra-extra BAC, lidocaine, lido/epi, needle length, massage gun afterwards, heating it up prior, putting allergy spray on the site after injection, taking allergy medicine before injection ; and a combination of all of the above. I still get isr's and bruising. The Klow has helped me SO much that, I still take it and work through the isr's. The after pain isn't too bad. The bruising adds up though.
I have ordered all of the Klow ingredients separately and the GHK-Basic, I sure hope the Basic is where the magic will happen with the isr's. It will be in next week!

Yep, you should be good. For me, the pain showed up after a few hours and lasted about 24, so if you’ve done 3 days now and not felt much discomfort, you’re one of the chosen ones. Enjoy!

Thank you for the info, im glad ut seems like in lucky but i feel bad for everyone that has a strong reaction to it. Do anyone know if there are research being done on why this occurs for some and other not?

Just got started, reconstituted a 50mg with 3ml bac water. Started the first few days with 1mg pins just to test the water and see if I’d feel anything but nothing at all. Now went up to 2mg and a few hours in I’m still not feeling any sting or burning, I might be one of the lucky ones! I’ve been using a 29g 1/2” syringe/needle and been pinning it in my love handles.
