    @PeptidePete hey “Copper Pete” lol

    I just whipped up a batch of KLOW Since i was doing all the other peptides for my Gut I figured i would RS the max dose on copper.

    Its crazy because i dont know if my body/butt will tolerate those mgs.

    I went from 2mg to 2.5 in KLOW and i feel it, so lets see if i can keep uping the dose however I will add the copper toxicity test this month.

    I do see all my fine wrinkles disappear, what are you seeing on your end thats mind blowing?

      LOL! It acts on 3000 genes! Go for the gusto!

      😀

      PS- my best spot is the soft area (previously a love handle) between upper check and lower back, never any pain. 10mg+ goes in one spot like buttah!!

          @peptidepete ok Pete…

          3mg of KLOW on each new LoveHandle/upperButtocks

          Like Butter.!!!

          So im up to 6mg GHK Subq, 2mg Sublingual, 1mg Topical…

          I think i will test 7mg max Subq and test for copper end of Feb as per @peptideed recommendations.

          Zinc came in middle to upper range so not low

            I actually do have limits 😨 😂

            Currently researching 12mg per pin, probing for sides. So far none. My suspicion, based on zero facts and an N of one, is GHK is going to turn out to be a key ingredient to healthspan optimization and perhaps longevity as well.

              @PeptidePete thats pretty insane how high you can tolerate.

              My 3mg each side my hips are like Shakira Hips…

              Mild spicy, not Hot but good feeling spicy.

              I will do a week and up the dose.💪

                    I watched this Kristi Sawacki video yesterday and feel like I am fortunate to have been exposed to the discussion. A MUST WATCH for any thoughtful longevity/healthspan researcher. Her background is disclosed at the beginning, GHK-Cu discussed slightly past half-way point. The entire video as far as I am concerned pure gold. One of the best, ORIGINAL, thinkers I know of.

                    What we don't know is- how dose dependent are GHK-Cu's benefits? My N of one shows I look and feel great and have no sides, now at 12.5 per pin, per day, and I have personal high-confidence what I am experimenting with is the right path. Each researcher has to consider their unique milieu.

                    Side note reiteration: once I found "the" spots, injection is a total nothingburger. Same for the wife, pins, and zero issues. Same two spots on each side, EOD, no lumps, no discoloration, no nothing. 😁

                      OK... I've succumbed to peer pressure and now that I've run my latest blood work upped my dose of GHK-CU from 2mg per day to 4mg per day.

                        welcome to the party. Im at 6. I was on 10 but unless i split it on different sites the pain was too much.

                          Currently researching with 15 mg per day. Thankfully the stuff doesn't cost what ss31 does lol. Still feeling fine with minimal ISR with one well diluted pin.

                          Not in any way saying that everyone should do it or that I recommend it, but lucky for the rest of you I'm that guy testing the max dosing.

                          I dug as deeply as I could trying to determine if there was any reliable evidence whatsoever the GHK benefits are dose dependent. I was not able to find anything. if somebody does find something, would they please post a link. Thanks in advance

                            @randy I'm splitting across two sites at 4mg. Or rather, two injections of 40 units each.

                                Daily, no time off.

                                I just noticed and showed my wife the back of my hand. While not transparent...lol...I can flex my tendons on back of hand and skin perfectly drapes over each and actually wraps around the tendon for the first finger. It is quite striking, crazy stuff. No way to directly attribute this effect to the GHK but the skin looks "super fucking healthy"...haha.

                                Other observation- skin instantly snaps back after the "pinch test" on back of hand. I mean instantly. Great elasticity. As far as I am concerned an inarguable sign of health.

                                No neg sides I can discern.

                                PS- it is 10-15% humidity where I live, yes my skin is dry. Also, I am 65 years old.

                                  Is it just me or the fact that GHK-cu looks just like the Super Soldier serum from Captain America! Especially when it's in some pen cartridges. 💪🏼

                                    I sent this to a friend the other day and his response was as appropriate. The blue color of glow when reconstituted is glorious.

                                      @PeptidePete There are lots of good moisturizers out there. The Cerave Daily moisturizing lotion is excellent, and if you like scents, Bath and Body Works lotion is great for arms and legs if you’re into that sort of thing. Since losing weight, my arms have gotten a bit crepey, which i don’t prefer. And my hands crack because of the dry air.

                                      I can’t say with certainty that GLOW has made it stop, but I have had much less cracking and splitting this winter than years past, and this is by far the coldest we’ve had. (Could also be due to CJC/Ipa and other things I am researching.)

                                        Is it just me or the fact that GHK-cu looks just like the Super Soldier serum from Captain America! Especially when it's in some pen cartridges. 💪🏼

                                          Folks understandably ask "why" the heroic dosing. To see what is on the other side is the answer 🙂 Strikes me as a reasonable experiment. Primary curiosity- assist in keeping my post-GLP3 skin tight. I am only looking to lose my ~20lbs of visceral fat but still getting some "drapy" skin nevertheless. Also, will it affect my male pattern baldness. I experienced no negative sides on daily 7.5-10mg GHK-Cu.

                                          Pain, yes, it can vary between nothing, and 24-36 hours not sleeping on that side pain...lol. For me the upper-outer quadrant of the buttock is where the magic is. Belly/Midriff area inevitably gets me a lump, sometimes for weeks.

                                          Will update thread as time passes- cheers

                                          So right about the upper quadrant.
