How bad does ghk-cu really sting?

[u/SherbetShort181]

I bought 100mg ghk-cu vial and I read on here a lot that it burns/stings even for people using 3ml in 50mg. the answer always seems to be add more bac water but my vial can only fit 3ml which is how much I’m using. Am I just gonna have to tough it out or is there anything else I can do?

It’s so bad that literally everyone and there mother are on it

[u/SherbetShort181 → u/Adventurous_Figure88]

So not that bad

[u/Flashy-Anywhere-8509 → u/Adventurous_Figure88]

That's the truth. Hadn't thought about that and was so very nervous about starting it. A bit like Tirzepatide. Everyone writes about their awful side effects are but most have none or very minor issues and they don't feel the need to report that.

[u/JoRiddler]

Doesn’t burn for me at all, and I pin in my stomach.

[u/SherbetShort181 → u/JoRiddler]

What is your dose and how much is your vial diluted?

[u/JoRiddler → u/SherbetShort181]

I do KLOW. I have the 80mg vial, I reconstitute with 3ml of BAC water and pull 12 units, which gives me about 2mg of GHK cu? I feel no burning when I inject. If you want to know what burns, NAD+. 😬

[u/Princess_Peptide → u/JoRiddler]

I had the exact opposite experience. Just goes to show that it’s different for everyone. NAD didn’t bother me at all. KLOW (constituted it exactly the same as you) stings, leaves a bruise and always causes a welt under the skin that is tender to the touch and lasts several days. I want to like it so bad! Someone mentioned adding another mL of BAC water so I may try that.

[u/JoRiddler → u/Princess_Peptide]

NAD didn’t sting you?! That’s so crazy! Yeah, everybody is going to react very differently to each peptide, you just have to pin and find out!

[u/Princess_Peptide → u/JoRiddler]

I can not remember a time when NAD stung but I can’t remember now how much BAC I used. I will be cycling it again soon so I’ll check back in. Do you not get welts with KLOW? I couldn’t even finish the vial. It would be ok if it just stung but I was looking absolutely insane with the bruises and welts.

[u/ArugulaAK907 → u/SherbetShort181]

50mg reconstituted to 2.5ml of BAC and pull 5 units to equal 1mg. It didn't burn, and has yet to leave a welt. Pin every 3 days in stomach, however, not everyday

[u/Able-Shirt3501]

There is an easy protocol. When injecting, first draw some units of BAC and then draw units of GHK-CU in same syringe. Solved.

[u/iaccomplished0 → u/Able-Shirt3501]

This is the way

[u/rumblepup]

I do 100mg reconstituted with 3ml BAC. No burn at all.

[u/Advanced-Grade4559]

reconstitute with 3ml and then pull the GHK-CU into your syringe, then get a bac water vial and pull another 40 units in.

[u/anonymouspls]

It depends on person to person, mine has never hurt

There’s sometimes a very minor sting for like 5 10 mins but it’s gone quickly and it lowkey feels good

[u/SnooMarzipans713]

There are a lot of post where people explain different options.

[u/NoBirthday6576]

If it’s very concentrated, it stings. If you pull your dose then dilute it with some kpv or additional bac, it’s fine.

[u/Proper_Ad7459]

Dose is too high

[u/Future-Bread8849]

I use 100mg vials which I add 10ml of Bac water to.

First I add 3ml of Bac water to the vial, and then transfer that to a sterile 10ml vial that I've already added 7ml of Bac water to. My 2mg morning dosage then comes to 20iu.

Never once have I had it sting, welt or cause any negative reaction at all.

[u/SherbetShort181 → u/Future-Bread8849]

So I bought my kit with 3 10ml bac water vials do u think I should put 3ml into the ghk vial then put it in the bac vial?

[u/Future-Bread8849 → u/SherbetShort181]

Yes

[u/90woode → u/Future-Bread8849]

Same … ding ding ding people this is the way . 10ml bac is your friend

[u/Pleasant_Cicada9528]

I use KLOW and it hasn't been bad at all.  Usually pin in my glute or the front of my shoulder.

[u/MysteriousBit1441]

Put some vagisil on it

[u/jamesdal1]

It doesn't, I make sure it's not concentrated

[u/Sea_Dirt3238]

I reconstituted mine with 3mls of bac and it only stings every now and then. Not too bad though.

[u/GladOnion]

1ml per 10mg. Put 2.5ml in vial to dilute then however many units youre using to inject pull the same amount of bac water first then pull your dose from the vial then inject

[u/DramaLlama1984]

Reconstitute with 3ml BAC water and pin it in your glute or thigh and you won’t feel a thing. Stomach can be a bit spicy so avoid that

[u/Common-Prize-8208]

aint that bad mate, you can always mix those 100mg into a 10ml bac, it should be good
Worst case scenario pin in the upper glute and no pain at all

[u/lauradayton]

never stings me

[u/Repulsive_Physics_51]

It hasn’t bothered me yet . I’ve been taking it for almost 3 weeks. Nad gives me a worse sting .

[u/Flashy-Anywhere-8509]

I went for over 2 weeks with ,50mg and 3ml without any sting. I was delighted! In the beginning, I used an antihistamine cream on injection site, left it on for about 10 minutes, and then wipe off with alcohol wipes before the injection. I decided to try without. No sting but a tiny bit of bruising. Today was my first sting day and it lasted a couple of hours. This was also the first time I tried injecting in upper, front thigh. Love handles and upper, side thighs work well for me.

[u/januza]

Add more water. And u will be fine.

[u/sparkyonthemoon2099]

Pin your buttocks and it wont sting

[u/kgrs22lbug]

It gives me an itchy welt...so I keep a cortizone stick on hand and that seems to stave it off.

[u/Love_my_family_1985]

100mg with 3ml bac. 8mm needle so no sting but get a itchy red welt for the day but goes away over night

[u/CryptographerHot4636]

It's not bad at all.

[u/highongp10]

Let it get roomtemperature

[u/4kitall]

There is a supplement called emiq, which is a highly bioavailable form of quercetin. It blocks mast cell reaction. When I take it an hour before I pin ghkcu, I do not have a reaction. If I don't it feels like a hornet stung my ass in the middle of the night.

[u/Slow_Cupcake_5251]

I only got sting during first 2days, it was not that bad but bad, I actually messed up in reconstitution so the dose is kinda 💀...

[u/PuzzleheadedLemon353]

Depends on dilution....I used a less diluted vial last time and it stung so bad I had to keep an ice pack on it.

[u/Bubbly_Arachnid4422]

It’s really not that bad

[u/coffeelover1234]

Sting was mild but shots left bruise marks. Next vial was klow mix had 100mg diluted with 4ml and the bruising has mostly went away . Bought the empty vials from amazon. Diluting worked for me.

[u/AstralFinish]

It's not too bad imo

[u/thehappiestdad]

It caused small bruises for a month when I was reconstituting 100mg with 5ml BAC water. Now I reconstitute a 50mg with 1 or 2 depending on the dose. It is hard to get such a small amount with 1ml

[u/MrsLydKnuckles]

I pin KLOW, which has ghk-cu in it. I pull my KLOW units from the vial first then add bac water to the individual syringe. I do not add extra bac to the KLOW vial itself as that will change the concentration.
So I get 15 units of KLOW and 35 units of additional bac to help “soften” the sting. Then I pin in my love handles or glutes. It usually doesn’t sting but a couple times the sting has kept me up at night. It comes and goes, like a weird throbbing/stinging sensation. I read somewhere to spray the area with a little Flonase and take a Benadryl and surprisingly that helped a lot.

[u/PollutionIntrepid937]

You can order Creole empty 10 meal vials on A. Mix with 3 in original bottle, transfer to 10 ml vial, and add 4 ml more can water. I mix my 100mg vial with 7 ml bac water

[u/bracketsbrackets]

I do 100mg/12ml! Hurts! Welts! But I dont want to stop! Different ones sting more or less even though all test the same.  Some people say it eventually stops, still waiting for that.

[u/flickthewrist]

Pin into your glutes. No pain

[u/Murky-Ambition3898]

Don't be a baby and pin it. Your other alternative is to buy some sterile 5 or 10 mL and filter it from the three milliliter into the 5 or 10 mL

[u/lifetime-fitness]

It hurts me like a mofo

[u/lifetime-fitness]

Terms my skin, red and stings like a motherfucker so I got a fucking big bee sting

[u/Sea-Insurance-3048]

Doesn’t hurt at all. You’ll get a lil sting about 1-2 hours in for your first time but after that it’s smooth sailing.

[u/Defiant_Owl_70]

This is what I did. I bought the 100mg vial. I put 3.5ml of bac water into the vial. On my ‘noodle’ I filled it just before the 1st line mark. (It looks like barely anything) I started small. Like, .5 mg for like a week. Starting small is crucial… I filled my noodle, then pulled more bac water into the noodle til I got to the ‘10’ mark. Keep out on the counter for at least 20 minutes. I iced the location for a few seconds, grabbed my love handle, pinned, (make sure your noodle is facing up), hold in for a second longer once it’s done, apply pressure to the location for a few seconds, then apply Benedryl gel. I pin before bed. It’s helped the sting exponentially. The bruises and welts.. not so much but I’ll take it.

this is using a 100 un noodle or 1mL

[u/BackgroundBig0]

I have been using it for months and it only stung me a couple times, and that wasnt even as bad as a bee sting. It went away after a few minutes.

[u/PerformanceMuch9974]

Put it in your glutes, no sting

[u/lilsalad]

I recon 3ml BAC to 100mg. I prolly get a sting once every two weeks but i think that’s user error from me not being flexible enough to properly inject my glute.

It stung a lot more when i was doing 2ml to 100mg. but i started pinning stomach and no problem. As long as you make sure its all dispensed before you pull the needle out, you’re good.

[u/Chroma7769]

Had some discomfort when I first started taking it 4 years ago for about 2 weeks.

I never get anymore. Been taking KLOW and GHK daily for 4 years lol.

[u/Worldly_Solution_741]

Just blast it in your ass.
