if you're taking GHK-CU
you need to start taking a zinc supplement ASAP
post injection irritation from GHK
copper comes from two main factors :
free copper ion reactivity and local inflammatory signalling
free copper ions are pro oxidative which can lead to stinging and burning.
copper and the GHK peptide can both transiently increase histamine release
and neurogenic inflammation
which can increase local pain sensitivity
any form of zinc supplementation can compete with copper at several levels,
zinc can displace and lower the amount of ionic copper that's released
at the injection site
zinc strongly induces metallothionein expression in tissues.
metallothionein binds and sequesters free copper very tightly,
reducing local free copper activity and oxidation
zinc can also lower histamine release
which dampens the inflammatory pain response
the net result is less free copper to irritate the nerve ending
and less inflammatory signalling in the injection area,
so burning and lingering post injection pain can decrease
