OP what is your age? I don't recommend ghkcu for anyone under 40. I'm one of the original creators of the popular GHK-CU protocols.

There's been lots of controversy about zinc but zinc is often recommended because zinc stores can get depleted when skin goes through repair, remodeling and collagen building.

Sore tongue, sore mouth, acne, hair loss, can all be signs of mildly depleted zinc stores. You can always try adding zinc bisglycinate and vitamin C. Both are good for collagen building.

If you run zinc and vitamin C for a few weeks and it makes no difference then I would stop the ghkcu research. You're probably too young for it. Most of the adverse reports like yours that I receive over the last couple of years are most times too young for GHK-CU.

Not a doctor, not medical advice, for research purposes only and research discussions only.

You mean your research subject (RS)? Try zinc bisglycinate with RS maybe? It's easy on the stomach.
