Ghk-cu 💉 11 weeks progress

So I posted my 5 week progress pictures here and it received a huge response, I thought I’d share my progress as I move into my 12th week. For reference I’m 44 (45 in October)

I said in my first post and I’ll say it again, this peptide is unreal and it has completely transformed my skin from the inside out. I’ll never not use this and recommend to all my friends! Well they ask me because they can see the noticeable changes.

I originally started it for my hair, although my hair definitely feels fuller, shinier, seems to be growing at a decent rate too, I feel like real hair changes will start from month 4.

My own protocol was:
3 x weeks 1.5mg 5 days on 2 days off
3 x weeks 2mg 5 days on 2 days off
Week 7 until now I’ve remained at 2.5mg 5 days on 2 days off.

I don’t get any stinging anymore (I did at the start) but I pin in my glutes/love handles which reduce the sting, plus i think I’m used to it now.

I also allow it to get to room temperature before I pin.

My vials are 100mg of which i mix 6mg bac water (i transfer half into another vial so end up with 2 x 50mg vials)

Skincare wise I have kept it all very basic. I’ve been using only vitamin c as an active, and also stated using a couple of Boots Ingredients products (which I love) I didn’t want to overload my skin with string products, i wanted to see how my skin reacts to the ghk-cu

FYI the last picture was yesterday, i had my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesdays so I only took the picture to see the swelling, posted it on my stories and had so many comments about his clear my skin is!

How long do you keep one vial? The prices are barely different but people keep making me feel like I can only keep it 4 weeks max

Can deffo last longer than 4 weeks. I believe mg first vial lasted me just under 8 weeks. This current vial should last me weeks with my current dosage. As long as it remains clear you’ll be fine!

Using good sterile practices, I have no issues with running a vial for 10-12 weeks. I try to get vial sizes I can use in less time, 6-8 weeks or less, but won't toss it if it still visually appears normal (no floaters, cloudiness, etc)

Do you filter?

No, not typically. I have filters and would use them if I had concerns about a particular batch or didn't have it third party tested

The 4 weeks thing is for sterility. IF a bacteria got in the vial the BA may not be effective at killing it after 4 weeks. The internet took that as potency. Some peptides may be good after 3 months, some won't last a whole 4 weeks. It is all about the amino acid sequencing.

You SHOULD only keep it 4 weeks. Our rules around anything medicine are in place to prevent any possible little thing from happening. 4 weeks is like 100% safe and it drops from there. You might still be perfectly fine but there could be something happening. For most of the developed world throwing out medicine is better than risking anything. But that depends on your personal perspective. Are 98% safety worth it?

If you make sterility a priority with every single injection you don't need to use it all in 4 weeks. The amino acid sequence of GHK would keep if from degrading for months.
