      @wes33378 The company Nexaph sells cosmetic-grade Ghk-Cu, Ahk-Cu & SNAP-8 peptide powders to mix & create serums. They sell them in 5gram kits. I think you’d get more bang-for-your-buck going that route, honestly… still an investment tho. Too early to tell as far as results in my lab… but others on here have had luck with topicals.

      Remember: there are no peptides that can fill the emptiness inside your cold heart.

        @Jake_PepTron I appreciate your feedback regarding the availability of the raw form from vendors. In my case, I am particularly interested in understanding any potential issues associated with the use of the lyophilized form.

            Here’s a good take on raw vs lyo

              Because you’d need 10X 50mg liophylized vials to make 0.5g in order to make only 30ml of serum along with a shit ton of BAC.

                @STATIEEIGHT I have 10X 50mg vials that will not be used sub q. Instead of trashing it, I thought I could make use of it.

                  I guess you could - but I wouldn’t for a few reasons.
                  You’re going to put that shit on your face and it’s going to include whatever fillers they’ve used to lyophilise it as well as whatever you use to reconstitute it.
                  What’s a kit worth? $25? Not worth risking burning your face off for.
                  Bin it or pin it.

                  The cosmetic raw is just straight GHKCU mixed usually with something like The Ordinary or Neutragenar Hydroboost Hyaluronic acid gel - both pretty safe things for almost anyone.

                  I make a couple different ones up for my rats wife and they are simple as hell and she loves them but have only used raw (I love it raw).

                    You’re not gonna burn your face off, lol. This is the same stuff we inject. The problem is how much BAC water you need to recon all that. I would see if the serum dissolves the lyophilized powder. If it does you should be good from there. It totally might.

                        @wes33378 I mean… given that you have them and don’t wanna pin them… I genuinely don’t know why you couldn’t just reconstitute them with 0.9% sterile-saline; draw out the solution; and shoot it into a 30ml bottle or two of “The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 with Ceramides” ($10ea on Amazon) to get some use out of them. Double-check all your math. First test a couple drops of it on your rat’s arm to make sure nothing melts off… I don’t think we’re talking “end of Raiders-of-the-Lost-Ark” or anything 😆 I thought we were researching here!

                          Does the Snap 8 come in raw powder as well? If not, how much reconstituted Snap 8 gets added per 30ml bottle of Hyaluronic Acid?

                            @Jake_PepTron I think that's going to be the plan. I will probably pop the tops off, then mix. Thanks for the recommendations.

                                @gym.rat I seen it done on many videos, but I agree, water is best for your skin. That said, by the time you add the serum, the BAC alcohol content is so dilute, it probably doesn’t cause any problems.

                                  It’s not as abundant as the GHK-Cu powder, but it’s out there. EvolveBioPep has it, I believe Ion peptides, and Im sure a few others.
