GHK-Cu Subcutaneous Research Dosing Protocol
-
@peptidepete serum is a bad measure for copper... look at RBC to measure cellular accumulation. That said, my copper rbc is fine at 4mg/ day (now my zinc RBC is far to low and needs to come up, but that's another, if related, problem).
-
@peptidepete - oh - and to be clear: I'm 99% sure you will find your copper rbc is fine too... but I like your posts, and it makes me a tiny touch protective

My research hamster has been experimenting with 10mg, sub-q GHK-Cu per day in one well-diluted injection. Madness or genius? No neg effect yet. Top-quadrant of his buttocks results in least discomfort. Supplementing highest-quality collagen powder to support. Anyone else try this and want to share results?

Now I want to up my dose! I've been taking 2.5mg daily. I started In September with 2mg daily 3X per week, then 5X per week in early November, then daily in December. I took 2 weeks off in January when I had a reconstruction surgery and then 1 week in March when I got cellulitis in my surgery site (not fun).
I recently switched from morning injections to bedtime injections. I am upping mine to 4mg tonight! I will up it every 2 weeks until I get to 10. As a cancer survivor, I get my blood checked quarterly.

Its funny on timming, Ive always taken at night and some Youtube influencer recommends moring fasted

FWIW- I have moved to AM/PM dosing given what I understand to be the very short half-life. Approx 5mg Am, 5mg Pm.
Also FWIW- I cannot note any benefits (or neg sides) at 10-15mg single pins. If nothing, why bother, eh?
It is still my intuition, based on absolutely nothing concrete, that GHK is going to be identified as something special. Let's see...
PS- all labs continue to be...perfection. My skin is elastic and spotless (65 years old)

@peptidepete Glad to hear all is going well! I'm just bumping up to 5mg a day. My Copper RBC labs continue to be in the normal range (though high end of normal).

Very little talk of the accelerating tissue repair aspect.
Has anyone else experimented with different sites specifically for that?I've found the back of the shoulders, beside the kneecap [inner and outer] to be great.
Above the kneecap and elbow not so much.I've also noticed that if feels better to hit a joint the night before working out on it, instead of the night you did.
This is with 2.5mg dosage: 50mg-10mL for 2, 25unit injections.
