GHK-cu: Did I expect too much?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Did the NAD+, MOTS-C, and SS-31 stack floating around. Best parts were MOTS-C and NAD+ toward the end—felt like pre-workout without caffeine jitters. Effects faded after two months but might run it again next month or after an Epitalon cycle.
 
At your size doing 6 days a week, 2300-2500 cals sounds real aggressive for that volume. TDEE's probably closer to 2800-3000, so even a 500 cal cut would put you higher. Try cycling—more on training days, less on rest days so you don't crash. And yeah, throw some veggies in with the chicken and rice.
 
my nurse here is a diabetes specialist. gps in the uk? they don't really want to prescribe it because of cost and honestly they don't manage diabetes much from what i see.
 
GHK-cu outcomes at 6 weeks at 2mg vary - skin effects are the most consistent, while systemic connective tissue and anti-inflammatory effects have a longer onset window. The technique issue with red lumps from diagonal subcutaneous injection is usually angle and depth; pinching with 90-degree entry is more reliable.
 
The pH balance and lido make a real difference for subQ GHK - plain reconstituted solution stings enough that it's hard to gauge whether the tissue response is actually coming through. GHK-basic blend neutralizes that and the results read more clearly at the same dose range.
 
The age-dependency of GHK-Cu is important context that most people don't know going in - it makes sense mechanistically that people whose natural levels have dropped significantly would see more benefit from supplementation than people who are already well-supplied endogenously. The 40+ threshold tracks with the age-related decline curve.
 
the skin thickness and firmness change is typically the most consistent GHK-Cu result across users - the under-chin and neck region specifically responds because the skin there is thinner and collagen loss is more visible, making improvement more apparent there than in areas where the baseline is thicker. the response timeline is long; 6 weeks at 2mg gives a partial read, with most users noting peak change at 3-6 months of consistent use
 
Running that particular peptide stack lately. Recently doubled up, so now pulling five milligrams of one compound daily. Is that going to be a problem?
 
Started with reta and figured the copper peptide would be a smart addition to head off any loose skin. Ran that combo about three months while lurking on these forums.

Eventually tried a single vial of a nasal cognitive peptide and decided to make it a daily habit. Bought a full kit a couple weeks after that.

Think I'll stick with three for now. Pinning twice daily, bumping to three shots on reta days, plenty for me.
 
Been going back and forth on this myself lately. Running two milligrams of the skin peptide daily, alongside a bit over a milligram of the immune one, starting back in March, and genuinely seeing results now. Fine lines softening up and some of the dull, sunken areas filling back in.

I am right in the age range where this compound is supposed to shine, and I take zinc alongside it daily too. Really just weighing whether to keep running it straight through, or risk losing some progress by cycling off given the copper buildup concern that has not been fully confirmed either way.
 
Nice. My wife's currently two months into a copper peptide and anti-inflammatory gut peptide combo, running it weekdays. Noticed her skin's gotten noticeably smoother, and even though she hasn't mentioned it herself, other people have brought it up too. Hair seems a bit fuller as well. Bumping the copper peptide up next week. From what I've read, the three-month mark tends to show the most visible results.
 
Personally noticed skin improvements from the copper peptide plateau around seven or eight weeks in. Taking a short break and restarting seems to kick off another round of visible improvement for me.
 
Should've gone to medical school honestly.

Started the copper peptide, always paired with the anti-inflammatory one, about six weeks back. Posted about it around mid-May I think, so roughly a month of seeing results now. Took a couple weeks working up to 2mg, running that dose every morning now.
 
My GHK dose is tiny, .25 ml. I started it as an experiment aimed at cartilage. Despite the small amount Ive seen lots of benefits. Joint stability has improved, and theres a definite improvement in skin, hair and eyelashes. Wrinkles are much less prominent and my face has more of a glow. GHK goes in alongside BPC and KPV, and I add zinc every day. Yes, the copper uglies showed up a little, despite the small amount. Two full months passed before I saw any firming, and another month for more noticeable effects. Collagen peptides add building blocks, and a pure Vitamin C serum goes on once or twice weekly.
 
I see what you mean. My skin has started tightening a little, so there's hope. This week I quit GHK Cu since it caused too many dark spots, probably too much free cuprate. Skin seems to need around a year to return to normal by itself, while with GHK Cu it takes 12 months.
 
Tirz. Turns out Im a super responder, a nice shock: 20 pounds vanished in 8 weeks at 2.5mg. Fullness slammed into me the day after dose one. I moved up to 3mg when food noise crept back, and it works well. GHK-Cu. Not sure it does anything, but Im about to lose half my bodyweight, so my skin deserves the best shot at recovering without much sag, hence GHK is a long-term commitment. Once my kit arrives, 500mcg KPV goes in daily alongside GHK, aimed at eczema and inflammation in general. Energy boosters like 5 amino, MOTS-C or NAD+ interest me, though I doubt how well they work. Im only 30 and these seem most effective for people 40+. Anyone succeeded with them in their early 30s?
 
I've tried it both subq and on the skin, mixing my own 3% topical from cosmetic grade powder, and both work well for me. Since roughly April I've been injecting it, started at 2mg a day with breaks and now its 3mg a day with breaks. My skin feels velvety overall. Before starting i took super close photos with my daughter's toy digital microscope (200x up to 800x) but havent redone them yet. On the topical, i put it on my whole face at first and within a day got a nickel sized spot by my nose that looked like eczema, not shocking since my skin is sensitive. Now i only use it on my forehead, the area that needs the most help, and several weeks in i noticed a new glow. Ive slacked lately because the serum doesnt mix well with my other face products.
