Skin n hair wise?

Ran 2 cycles before,
  • 1st at 3 mg/day, 2 months, 1 nmonth break
  • 2nd at 5mg/day, 2 months, 1 month break

Reconstituted with Bac water first cycle and PBS second cycle. 0 results
Before I waste my money again, have any of u actually see a noticeable improvement when u look at the mirror or the camera

gotten to the point where i m assuming people hyping this up are paid
 
I've been taking it with bpc 157 and tb500. Around 7 weeks I noticed my skin feels very soft. Been taking it around 12 weeks now and about to cycle off for a month. My carpal tunnel hasn't been bothering me anymore. I haven't noticed that my hair is thicker, but it is growing faster. I've heard it can take 6 months or more before you can actually see a difference in your skin. Honestly, I probably only noticed it feels softer because I fidget and touch my neck a lot. Highly recommend taking with bpc 157 and tb500 (GLOW blend) as they are known to work very well together. Either way, your money's not wasted. It's working on a level you can't yet perceive.

Glutathione with Ascorbic Acid has done way more for me than GHK-Cu ever did, and the liver benefits are quite remarkable. I think with a lot of things it has more to do with what you are deficient in as an individual and your age. If you are in your 40s or older and really want to see a difference you can play with HGH. Start with a low dose of 1-2iu for skin. If you want to build and-or preserve muscle then go with 3-4iu. Don’t believe the hype about HGH being any more dangerous than GHK or the various GH secretagogue.
 
I’m a couple months in on GHK and I’ve seen a noticeable difference in fine lines and overall complexion, however not much with my hair. After doing more reading it sounds like it helps with hair but it’s more directed for skin. AHK-cu is supposed to be more for hair growth by stimulating dermal cells.
I’m just using GHK on my face and neck and just started AHK about a week ago, for my hair.

Edit: I should have added that these are cosmetic GHK and AHK.
I also do injectable GHK. Cycling on and off.
 
I used GHK for about a week before I added all the other peps to make KLOW. Ghk by itself as well as KPV seemed to get rid of mild migraines. After about a month of KLOW my swimmers shoulder was 90% gone. I was finally able to lift weights for the first time in years. I have been using KLOW almost daily for about 3 months. I have made huge gains in strength and muscle mass because I can lift weights again. I am also finishing a cycle os tesamorelin/ipmorelin. After about 6 weeks my dry sun burned chlorine flakey skin was moist and soft, even though I had stepped up my swimming workouts. I think I am growing soft baby hair on my bald spot on my head but it might have been there before. I am sure the GHK did have a lot to do with my progress. It does sometimes cause painful aching after injection.

Can I ask what Dose you have been using everyday? I've been wanting to try KLOW.

Can I ask what Dose you have been using everyday? I've been wanting to try KLOW.
If my vial of GHK was actually 50mg my dosage was 4mg of KLOW80 per day. Sometimes split into 2mg in each shoulder. I found out that the batch of GHK from SRY I used to make the KLOW was testing at over 100mg. So my KLOW80 most likely has double the normal GHK-CU. I just kept using it at that dose because of how great it worked.
 
I am almost at the end of my first cycle (32 days on a total of 40) of GLOW using 2mg of GHK-Cu per day.
I have a nice feeling touching my skyn that I never had before, not easy to explain.
I took some pictures of my skin the day I started and comparing with the current ones it looks that something has changed. Some spots disappered and the wrinkles looks to be less deep.

Attached are the pictures of my right hand before and now.
make up your own mind.

I tried dm'ing you but apparently I still don't have that benefit?
Anyways, I am currently on an Adderall prescription so Ascorbic Acid would be detrimental for me. Can gluta still be reconstituted with anything else?

It’s funny. Whenever I think of HGH, I automatically think of Dorian Yates, El Nassar Sontaby, Flex Wheeler, etc. It just creates a strong negative connotation for some reason.

I did not know about AA. I havent used any type of acid to reconstitute yet, but thats something I need to research. Since, I am on adderall too. I have been trying semax in the place of it to see how it works. adderall, takes away my lovely personality. 🙂
 
Bought a 4% facial cream from Amazon, which is working nicely after a few weeks. Skin's more hydrated, dark circles fading, wrinkles/smile lines softening. Matters after I lost a shitton of weight. I prefer topical > inj.

It’s one of my favorites and I definitely notice a difference after GHK-Cu and GLOW cycles for 7+ years.

Why? Because it stimulates collagen and elastin, promotes angiogenesis and regulates over 4,000 human genes toward repair patterns:

Bacteriostatic water works just fine.

Unfortunately it’s abused like so many other things.
 
I look younger now than I did a year ago before I started. I started at about the same time I started taking a GLP-1. I was trying to get ahead of possible loose skin and the aging look that weight loss can cause. I don't have any loose skin after losing around 60-70 pounds, and am 54 years old. My hair is much thicker than it was before I even began to lose weight.

However, I also did a lot of other things at the same time to try to prevent sagging:

Ran KPV with GHK-Cu, glutathione, Athena, zinc, and vitamin c. I lost less than two pounds a week, exercised, took multivitamins with extra hair, skin and nails vitamins and minerals. Ate healthy, ate an appropriate amount of protein and added an amino acid/collagen supplement.

So I guess I can't say that it was just the GHK-Cu, and truly, most of us who are using it are also using other peptides/supplements at the same time and making other health related changes.

But at about 80 dollars a year, what have I really got to lose? I'm going to keep doing the same things.

I'm in a bit of a rabbit hole recently about GHK-Cu and its effects on skin. Specifically, I'm trying to get my head around the correct delivery method: subcutaneous, topical, or microneedling. I found a study that says topical barely gets anything through the stratum corneum but that microneedling does pass that barrier. That study is here.

I'm not convinced subcutaneous GHK-Cu is the answer. This is because I make comparisons with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Study after study shows that oral ingestion of even very high amounts of vitC does not come into the ballpark for concentrations of the molecule in the skin when compared to topical application (especially formulations such as Skinceuticals' ferulic acid/tocopherol formula that just recently went off patent). In contrast with GHK-Cu, vitC does get absorbed with low enough pH.

The concentration in the skin itself is where it counts. I am skeptical that pinning GHK-Cu achieves a high enough concentration where it counts to be doing what we're hoping it's doing. We think we're solving for the "can't get past the skin barrier" problem with pinning, but pinning doesn't solve any problem other than getting large molecules past the digestive tract. Are there any studies that are on subQ GHK-Cu and skin specifically? I can't find any.

You seem to know your stuff but if anyone is new to topical peptides make sure every single thing is sterile af and start at .25mm - I have a whole bunch of serums I use as well as stem cells. Buy a professional grade (I have a Dr Pen Ultima M8) and never re-use needles - they come in individually sealed medical-grade packaging. Try it out on another part of your body first with different cartridges. Clean your face with alcohol very well just before you start, right after wiping off the numbing cream. WEAR GLOVES. Any bacteria that touches your face can cause an infection because you’re piercing the skin’s protective barrier. I’ve used Asterwood Copper Peptides w/hyaluronic acid and had good results, you can buy it online. For the days of healing, you must keep your face clean and well moisturized, don’t use hot water or steam. Treat your face like a burn until it heals then treat it like a newborn baby. The more times you do it, the tougher the skin gets to needle (that’s collagen!). I had it done professionally 10-15 times before I ever did it myself because I didn’t want to make a mistake. It’s good to do it 3 times spaced a month apart as it takes about 12 weeks to really notice a dramatic difference. TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS! As your skin is repairing itself you may not notice changes but if you compare the 12 week pics to what you started with, zooming in around your eyes, jawline, forehead, etc you’ll notice a night and day difference.

If you decide to get it done professionally first do your research and see if a place offers stem cells. It cut my healing time from 7-10 days of raw skin down to 3-5 and the redness went away much quicker. I’ll attach a pic of the first time I got it done, I bled like crazy because my skin was so thick that she had to dial it up to 1mm. They wipe the blood around with the stem cells because it helps with the healing, similar concept to Vampire facial with Platelet-Rich Plasma.

I pin 1mg GHK-Cu nearly daily and my skin is extremely soft. If I was trapped on an island and could only have 1 peptide, it would probably be GHK-Cu. 🙂

I use a lot of other things as well as vitamin C, too!

Keep in mind everyone responds differently to different treatments and different people are just, well, different.

Unless someone is advertising a specific company or brand then I don’t see why they would benefit from the hype, it’s not expensive and we’re all here to avoid the costs of doctor shopping and big pharma. I’ve been on various peptides for over a decade, my goal is to “naturally” preserve my body as much as reasonably possible because I don’t plan to go under the knife.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

I’m sure it’s going to vary from person to person, how long you do it, how much you use, topical or injectable etc.
I’ve seen nice results for the short amount of time that I’ve been doing it. I apply cosmetic to my face 2x a day and micro needle it about once a week.
My micro needle face roller does not give the same effect as that member pic above this post. Nor would I want it to. It doesn’t burn and I don’t wear gloves, however my face and hands are very clean.
I inject every other month, every day. Then cycle off.
Here’s a study I have read a few times.

A dermaroller is far less intense so you shouldn’t bleed much, if at all. Microneedling works like a tattoo gun but with serum instead of ink. The depth and speed of the device that causes the bleeding you see in my pic requires prescription-strength numbing cream and a Xanax. 🤣

A Xanax? Like singular? Maybe two or three 😂
