Reaction after GHK-cu shot (14 shots in)

I have seen this a few times myself. It seems random and usually clears up without any action. It might just be a sensitive spot from the injection. Still, it is worth watching him for any further signs of allergy or infection since everyone reacts differently.

I do not know, but my wife and I are using the same product and I did not get the lump under the skin and mild irritation until the fifth or sixth shot. It goes away for me in about twenty-four hours so I just kept going.

Heard from that chat program regarding the copper peptide compound it often brings sharp burning mostly in the application spot yet reacting to the metal could trigger rashes across the body. Getting nervous enough to quit or line up an emergency shot device. Did anyone here actually obtain injectors to guard against a possible extreme allergic response? How exactly did the steps work out? Any preferred online medical service that hands out a prescription?

Some people switch to the version without copper and report no issues. I have only tried the topical form so far because of stories like this about the injectable version.

An older paper talks about mixing copper and copper-free versions, noting that the copper-free form alone works fine. A couple of people here have tried a fifty-fifty mix. I would probably just use the copper-free version instead. Copper blood tests are available through labs for a modest fee.

I had something similar with another peptide. Small itchy lumps were common but once I got a large deep firm lump that was very itchy and took a week to settle. After that it never happened again. Stronger local reactions or any general allergic signs are a reason to think about stopping.

With his allergies already flaring he is more likely to react this way. When my own allergies are bad I notice I can react to things that normally do not bother me. Good that you are filtering now.

I use it regularly and sometimes get a lump depending on the site that day. Extra dilution in the syringe seems to reduce the lump for me. Changing injection sites also helps and I have no plans to stop.

I had been mixing it with another peptide and injecting at the same spot along with some topical cream. There was no immediate sting but stinging showed up hours later at earlier bruise sites. After about a week I started getting delayed itching and a persisting deep itchy bump. Switching to abdominal sites made the bumps smaller. Later other injection sites and my scalp became itchy too. I have had environmental allergies before and the current season is adding to it. This stayed within one organ system so not full anaphylaxis, but it felt like a mast cell response.

Another common approach is using a deeper subcutaneous needle to get below the more reactive skin layers. It helped me along with adding the other peptide, though it means keeping two needle sizes on hand.

The longer needle helps me somewhat with another peptide. The hip area can mean slower absorption which may be useful, but clothing can cause extra irritation there.

Nice grid. Thanks.

A book on the topic favors lower dosing. Copper blood tests are available for a small fee plus any draw cost.

Hi everyone. I am new and looking into this peptide. I am thinking about two milligrams daily for a longer time. Some suggest taking zinc with it because of the copper. What amounts are others using?

I started getting intense stinging that lasted more than twelve hours so I switched to topical and oral forms. Hopefully a non-stinging injectable version appears eventually.

I get small red bumps on my torso and think it is from this peptide. I also take two other things. It is very itchy and I take zinc daily. I believe it is from the peptide but I am not ready to stop so I will keep going for now.
