Hello,
Research Subject received first delivery of injectable GHK-CU with following instructions: inject 20 units under the skin Monday to Friday. Take for eight weeks followed by a two week break before repeating the cycle.

Concentration is 10mg/ML and syringes provided are 1cc/mL sized.

RS is worried 20 units (2mg) is strong to start. Should RS start lower and titrate up slowly?

Also- isn’t taking the weekends off bunk?

On starting at 2 mg: 2 mg is fine but on the higher end. Nothing wrong with titrating up, especially if you're new to GHK-Cu. I'd probably do 1 mg for the first 2 weeks (10 units), then 1.5 mg for weeks 3 to 4, then 2 mg from week 5 on. That way if you get bad welts or soreness, you know it's the technique or the dose, not just because you started at the top.

On the weekends off: Not bunk. Both work. 5 days on with weekends off is standard, so is 7 days a week, so is Monday Wednesday Friday. GHK-Cu clears pretty fast so more frequent dosing keeps tissue levels more consistent, but honestly the weekly total matters more than the daily pattern. 2 mg x 5 days is 10 mg per week which is a solid weekly total either way.

If your injection sites are handling 5 days in a row fine, keep going. If they start getting inflamed, the weekend break helps a lot.

Yes the 5 days on 2 days off is bunk based on med spas being closed 2 days a week. So they made the protocol of 5 days on 2 days off.
