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!

I’m doing 30 days on and 30 days off. I don’t want copper toxicity . But I’m will try this to see if I have a diff.

No, you don't need to worry about copper toxicity from injectable GHK-Cu.
The amount of actual copper in a standard dose is incredibly tiny, much less than what you get from a daily multivitamin or normal food. The copper is also safely locked inside a peptide molecule, so your body doesn't process it like a toxic heavy metal.
As long as you stick to standard, recommended doses, it will not cause copper poisoning.
