@randy in the video you said half a gram but it looks like a lot less than that. Can you clarify?
-
You don't state how much Snap-8 you added in the video? 10mg? I have purchased Snap-8 bulk in a Lyophilized powder so not sure if I can add directly to the HA serum?

@Reactive3078
How much snap 8 and GHK powder did you use?@ZnYdErX3 I added 1/2 gram of GHK-CU and Snap-8 I did 25 mg.

I did the math and it's about the same price to buy a pre-made GHK product relative to taking the DIY route.
A couple of differences:
- Knowing your GHK is "legit" when you make it yourself (controlling your sourcing)
- Controlling the amount of GHK in the finished product. Iirc Anela aims for ~3%, whereas standard formulations are a lot lower at 0.5 or 1%
- A lot of pre-made serums will have a more complex formulation that could be more beneficial to your skin
3.5) In some cases the formulation could be a turn off because it has too much
Here's the GHK product I used to compare to the DIY route: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9DXGXZ3
Lmk if my math is wrong, I've been seriously contemplating making my own skin and hair serums for a while, but the math wasn't what I wanted it to be.

@SSB What are the benefits of these night and day serums?
I'm about to finish my serum based on randy's video.

Where do you get the blue powder
-
You can search for raw AHK-cu or GHK-cu and find suppliers. Nexaph does sell 5g at a time, but it's going to be more expensive than a lot of other places.
@seadracos thanks. Does this work with reconstituted ghk or has to be the powder?
-
That I'm not sure, you probably could use reconstituted lypholized ghk. The raw powder is significantly cheaper though, and I think a different recipe i read recommended that you reconsitute the raw powder for more even mixing.
The raw powder is topical only though. -
Question when reconstituting snap-8 10mg vile, is minimal amount of sterile water used just to reconstitute ? sounds like a researcher might use two 10mg vials of snap-8 for the mixture in the vid . any thoughts would be appreciated
