I got a 100mg vial of ghk-Cu and reconned in 10ml bac water. 2-4 days after using it i got big red welts the skin and now have hard nodules under the skin. My dose was 1.5mg.

Do I need to dilute it further? Anyone had similar issues?
 
The first time I diluted my 100mg with 12mL of BAC. Every day I put 2mg in the syringe then dilute it even further. I have no issues if I pin it in the fattest part of my butt. A little stinging if I pin it elsewhere. I think for my next reconstitution I am going to filter it into an entire 30mL bottle of BAC.
 
Some of us who also get hard indurations will draw the 2mg of GHK, then draw additional bac. water into the syringe. I have found a 1:4 ratio of reconned GHK : extra bac mitigates this.

To clear the fibrotic nodules: I used red light, BPC daily/TB 2x weekly around them, dry brushing, and massage. They're mostly gone after 1 month of treatment, and they had been there for a couple of months.

I spoke too soon. I pinned in my love handles today and 6 hours later I have a welt and redness around the injection site. I didn't put as much BAC water in the syringe as I normally do.

Jump to 6:40 in the timeline. I started pinning exactly where his doctor told him to and I've no issues since. It's above the glutes, 1 inch below the waistline.

I hope it works for you.
 
Why are y'all adding more bac to each dose? Why not just recon with the additional volume of bac water and save a step?

Are you drawing the additional bac first and then dipping into the Cu?

I recon and filter a 50mg vial with 4.7ml. Pin in the side of my butt. 31g 8mm syringe. No issues.

I assume that's because they aren't using 10ml or bigger Vials
 
Yeah happened to me - had to stop pinning it. too painful.

i started making topical serums with hyaluronic acid (really works BTW) so my vials dont go to waste, worth considering if you need to drop pinning it

I'd probably hug you if you where here !
I just googled it. So there's some discussion about using cosmetic grade GHK which is sold by the gram. And correct if I'm wrong, but I think that was only a cost factor (if you're buying retail).

Can you post your recipe 🙂

I would look into that assumption. I thought cosmetic grade and research use only are not the same.

Hopefully, I am wrong in favor of similarity and safety for topical use of RUO.
 
Can confirm, glutes work. I also use antiseptic numbing wipes and I like to think that they help.

I had the hard spots which lasted for many weels; only after pinning in outer thigh area. My guess is that I have poor circulation there.
I started adding more bac and also switched to hip/upper gluteal area and no more problems.
I have started using lidocaine cream 5% prior to pinning. Inconsistent but when it works it's nice.
Trick is waiting long enough but not too long after applying.

You must be one of the "Golden Ones" that feels nothing from GHK-CU. Myself and most (not all) of the people here suffer when injecting ghk-cu. Dilution helps a lot.
I had no idea this was a thing. It sometimes stings a bit when pinning but nothing bad and just a second or two. I do remember the first couple times I pinned it it hurt for like 2 hours afterwards but I didn't put it together till now. It hasn't happened since the first week.

I am relieved it doesn't bother me but dang that could have been horrible not knowing this stuff when I started if I did react like some of you.

Not enough room in the vial. I recon 70mg GHK-Cu in 5ml bac, and still need 60iu of extra bac. water each day to the 15iu of already reconned GHK in order to minimize the mast cell reactions. It's not much extra work, just an extra needle tip, or a dull needle if I'm out of Luer locks.
