GHK-Cu complete guide (i won’t source what am saying, just listen, and DYOR)
After reading this high iq thread, you will know everything about GHKCU
GHK-Cu is a copper peptide,used in the looksmaxxing community to boost collagen release. GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine (yeah, you didnt know that did you)
Injectable GHK-Cu provides 100% bioavailability and systemic distribution. Activates multiple cellular pathways including collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, immune modulation, and tissue remodeling genes for comprehensive anti-aging effects. Keep in mind this is the INJECTABLE version. Anything else is basically cope
—> leading to skin glow, acne scars healing, and overall better skin health.
—> Appart from skin benefits, your hair and nails, will also benefit from it.
What people don’t talk about is GHK-Cu’s anti-aging effects, it causes anti aging by simply LOWERING your Growth Hormone production, thus preventing your body to age normally, slowing the process —> Anti-Age
So if you’re trying to maximize your GH, then maybe GHK-Cu will slightly fuck that up, but not NOTICEABLY.
As you know now, this peptide is copper, however, your body needs to balance copper AND zinc to function. Zinc comes in play to regulate the copper in your body, after it does what it has to do, to avoid intoxication from copper overdose.
If you’re not retarded, you understand that taking GHK-Cu will fuck that balance: you NEED to take zinc pills
Best scenario would be to pin GHK in the morning, and take zinc in the night. NEVER at the same time —> it will just cancel the ghk cu out.
GHK-Cu RECONSTITUTION
Your peptide will arrive in a POWDER form. You will need either BACTERIOSTATIC WATER, or, most importantly, and what many people do not know, Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)
When injecting GHK-Cu reconstituted in BAC water, the benzol alcohool (to prevent bacteria contamination) contained in it, will react to the copper —> causes redness, stings and burning sensations for hours (unless you’re part of the 10% in the studies that do not get these side effects). To avoid this, some put more BAC water in it (ideally 3ML of BAC per vial of 50mg, if your vial is big enough, do more.)
PBS would negate those effects, as it doesnt contain alcohol, however, the issue is, you will rarely find it seperated into vials, you may find big bottles, but for safety reasons you should not use it 30 days after opening it since it wouldnt be sterile.
So if you understand, PBS is annoying to deal with.
Some users on reddit have negated from the BAC WATER side effects by dividing their injection into 2 different areas, or injecting in the glutes.
There is another protocol, in which you may put vitamin B12 to cancel out the sting and burning.
GLOW and KLOW users will most likely not experience any of the side effects ive talked about, since their stack contains BPC157, that basically prevents any side effect.
GHK-Cu DOSAGES
Typical doses range from 1-3mg per day.
I will list the benefits you will get from each doses
You can inject this peptide subQ in your tighs, belly, glutes, arms (subQ = in the fat, never touch the muscle with a needle containing peptides)
1mg —> general wellness + anti aging
2mg—> hair growth and health ; skin wellness and scar healing (OPTIMAL DOSAGE)
3mg —> Wound healing (inject near the wounded area)
NEVER go over 3mg. NEVER because you can get in serions trouble if you get copper intoxication ( if you feel a metallic taste in your mouth, bro stip pin’ing that shit and get some Zinc pills)
Also, if your main concern is acne, then do not opt for GHK. Get on accutane, ghk will not fix your acne.
GHK-Cu CYCLE DURATION
You shouldnt use GHK-Cu indefinitely.
You will need atleast 8 weeks to get the full results, but to maximize tjr benefits, always go from 10 to 12 weeks.
After your cycle, you will need to stop for atleast a month.
After the pause you may re-do.
GHK-Cu effects will most likely be noticed within the range of 2 to 4 weeks
if you mirin, rep ts took me time.
