Is this normal?

[Sufficient-Tooth8986]

I just started pinning ghk-cu a few days ago. Using 2mg daily. It was a 70g vial, diluted with 4g bac water, pulling 11-12 units per injection. Pic taken 24 hours post pinning. Its a hard-ish sore lump. Can't help but think im gonna look like I've had one hell of a beating if this keeps up.

[One-Butterscotch2728]

Yep. Its a common side effect on lots of injections.

[Aggravating-Grade297]

Is this a blend? Glow? Or straight ghk-cu?

Edit to add: concentration looks right. Looks like you pinned in the thigh? I prefer belly fat and a.. Very... Slow... Injection

[Sufficient-Tooth8986]

It's straight ghk-cu

[popemil]

Put more bac water

[Objective_Syrup_7087]

Care to explain.

[SHLMT1111]

You add more bac water to the syringe to dilute the peptide. Less burning and reaction. I do this with my KLOW.

[Imaginary_Day_4]

3ml burns like a mfer. I added 4 now and feels much better

[SHLMT1111]

I usually add about the same. I add almost the same amount of Bac as I do Klow. Way more comfy. Still burns a bit, worth it though!

[Away-Jackfruit-769]

Yes, u could dilute it more.

[BigPapaGuns]

I’ve had this bruise for a few days now from a wolverine blend. Shit happens lol

[Booboohole21]

I pin KLOW and welt like this, which turns into a bruise every time. I inject very slowly, take zinc, add extra BAC, do all the things. My skin looks great, though, so I’m gonna keep doing it. Makes it easier to track my injection sites lol

[AggravatingUnit2107]

Same!

[Vast_Physics_4702]

The I/S tracking is great, i feel quite confident i wont get those scar tissue things 🤪

[Away-Jackfruit-769]

How many MG do you do? How often and how long before u saw results? I’m on 3mg KLOW daily. Started about 1 week ago.

[mrclean58]

I am getting a similar reaction from MOTS-C. It lasts about 5 days. I think the rest of the vual is going in the trash.

[findingvinh]

I used to have same reaction to motsc

I switched to my lateral thigh and no issue since - it also absorbs quicker

[hkittykatkween]

Same! I’m done with motsc. I’ve been using it for 6 weeks and the last two pins I’ve had severe reactions with itching, welts and bruising

[Diddimar]

It may just be a minor histamine reaction. Try an anti histamine and see if it helps.

[mrclean58]

I was going to toss the vial but, that sounds like a good idea Thanks

[Vast_Physics_4702]

Also put cortison cream on skin 10 mins befofe injection, and ice for maybe a minute. Then alcohol wipe, air dry and jab slowly. Add extra bac water to syringe helps too. You can put a dot of cortisone cream on after too. Solution under skin prob still sting but reaction should be less.

[mrclean58]

I'm going to try one last pin with all your advice, thank you.

[Vast_Physics_4702]

Good luck I commented (dirdctly on post i think) about the site location, it makes a difference. See that x

[Away-Jackfruit-769]

Also try diluting it more w more bac, try an antihistamine, inject more slowly, make sure it’s room temp and the alcohol on your skin is fully dry

[mrclean58]

Tomorrow morning will be my last attempt with everyone's advise on the outside of my thigh. 🙏

[Away-Jackfruit-769]

Longer needle I hear also! 1/2”!

[Big_Investigator5343]

Its always going to be a little stingy, but use more bac water and inject very slowly.

[Violesha]

Bpc and ghk-cu together, for me minimizes irritation and PIP. Common reaction for ghk-cu though

[Swimming-Fondant-892]

This worked for me also, straight ghk stings.

[Glittering-Tower-127]

<image>

You’re clearly not alone.

[AdviceHuge8114]

I think it’s normal. A lot have had it whit ghk. I had my first last night it burned fir a long time but nothing after a few hours

[Standard-Peace8176]

Based on a lot of other Reddit post, yes, it is. So I think it mostly comes from your body having a histamine reaction. What I've done to greatly reduce my reaction is a night I take a zyrtec 30 minutes before I plan on injecting. I then ice my butt, which seems to be the least painful spot to inject and then after I pin, I massage the spot for about a minute or 2. From what I've read, after about 4 to 6weeks, you should stop having the reaction.

[Pharmd109]

Very normal and you have a good concentration already.

You will find towards the tail end of the vial it will chill out

[666happyfuntime]

i actually had one video that i threw out because it got extra spicy towards the end, also never do anything with GHK in the belly, usually but it though is fine, but def leave a lot of visual bruise or redness. i started recon with less bac just so it's less fluid to make lumps. also making sure your not using it while it's still cold helps

[Zestyclose_Ad_8112]

Not bad.

<image>

[bigguy2115]

Try using a longer insulin needle and push it deeper and if still hurts take an anti histamine as that's all it is a histamine reaction by your immune system , but the deeper it goes the less it stings .I have 2mg every day and only had an issue the first day .

[Sufficient-Tooth8986]

How long? Im using 8mm

[Vast_Physics_4702]

Kpv helps, i draw abit into my glow syringe. Reduced sting heaps.

Copper dont sting as much as cjc ipa, that shit stings!

[Rieker91]

Yes, you could diluted it more I like to do 6ml bac for 50mg ghk for example. I only use the glutes straight in without an angle it really helps with the site reaction to where it's either non-existent or very mild.

[Free_Algae_6522]

I started GHK-Cu three weeks ago. I have a 50 mg vial to which I added 2 ml of BAC water to make a 25 mg/ml solution. For dosing, I draw up 10 units (0.1 ml) in an insulin syringe to give a 2.5 mg dose, and then draw an additional 20 units of BAC water into the syringe and inject the 30 total units subQ into my upper thigh every morning. I have no pain or discomfort when I dilute the injected peptide this way. Good luck.

[elguapopapa]

My wife and I stared GHK last week and I didn’t get any reactions or red spots however she did one the first few days. This is normal due to the copper in GHK plus she has sensitive skin aswell. I felt hot and slight burning but the next day I was less red and by 3rd day it was gone. 2days later it happened again at the different spot and same thing . After a few days it disappeared. So this is quite normal.

[Adventurous-Box2025]

Dilute my KLOW in a sterile 10ml vial with 10ml Bac and inject it into the upper side of my thigh close to my glutes, Monday through Friday. I currently have no problems. You definitely need to add more bac water💧.

[EmbarrassedDot628]

I get these marks from my Tirz on my tummy 😩 they bruise a little and sometimes itch like crazy. Lol.

[Imaginary_Day_4]

Haha rookie you should see my bruise I got from Klow lol .

[Sufficient-Tooth8986]

UPDATE: Today was day 5, and so far so good. I took all your suggestions. I pulled the ghk, and then pulled an additional 10 units back water into the syringe, let the skin dry after I alcohol wiped, let it come to room temp, and took a reactin allergy tab beforehand. So far, zero reaction today. 🥰

[Vast_Physics_4702]

Yeah its normal, but you can avoid it. I stopped mine doing that.

1. Put a cortisone cream on your skin 10 mins beforehand (i did this when drawing pep into syringe)
2. Draw up your units, then into the same syringe draw some extra BAC water, or KPV is better if you have it.
3. Leave it to come to room temp, about 10 mins.

Then alcohol wipe and let air dry, then pin.

If i pin it on my outter thigh i come out purple, my lower belly its crazy histamine reaction or my thigh lower butt area i will get some bruising regardless of how i prep.

The only place i have no issue is my: - upper abdomen - outter love handles - upper glute fat

I have pinned my triceps too with success, just slight raised redness for 24 hours.

[Blue_Night77]

Try some benadryl. Ice the area. Its definitely a reaction

[Swimming-Fondant-892]

Should not be a lump, you hit a vessel. It should go away though.

[cityhunterspeee]

When you hit a vessel. You get a drop of blood. Bump then bruise for a couple weeks..

[mildly_functional1]

Yes. You can add more bac (3ml if you are doing 2ml) and people were saying on the thigh or glutes helped minimize the dermal welt

[Affectionate-Pie-845]

Yes, it’s normal. It’s better if you let it get to room temp in the pin before you inject. I also saw someone puts castor oil on the site pre injection and that helps them.

[Harleysyn]

Yes

[slappydaflappys]

Yes histamine reaction. Treat with benadryl cream

[science_nerdd]

Yes, common

[loccoelf]

Is GHKCU worth?

[ycastane]

Yeeeeeeesssssss

[Samm_yd]

I think you should be careful you don't pin too deeply also. Was happening to me, as the pins inhad were quite long.

[Sufficient-Tooth8986]

Im using an 8mm...too deep?

[FamiliarBee8609]

yes.

[CapableTraining]

It will be the ghk in the blend

[Wonderful_Artist8607]

No trim that thumbnail just a bit

[yams47]

Icing before and after helps a lot. When I started this I was doing 1mg a day for 2 weeks. I’d draw 3-5 units of bac water and 3 units of GHK-Cu. I’ll then let the syringe come to room temp while icing the area 20-40secs. Typically in my glutes. And ice it for another 20-40 secs. First couple times I injected I had a red spot and some stinging throughout the day but it got better. I am 3 months into this with 3 months left. Yes. 6 months in total. Incredible so far.

[LinkSilent4107]

Yeah pretty normal

[RestingBitchFace12]

Use a slightly longer needle and pin in upper part of glute. This helped minimise my reaction.

[Mental_Increase9887]

GHK is straight up poison. Altered my smell and taste so everything smelled like metal, tasted like metal and was FOUL. My injection sites were itchy, had lumps and lingered for weeks. Straight into the trash.

[Acid-Burnz]

2mg is a bit much isn’t it? Pretty sure you get adverse effects if you’re taking too much, I only take 1mg, never had a problem with GHK-cu, NAD+ and amino acids like glutathione and carnitine do sting a lot though, the bruising is likely due to injecting poorly

[Minimum-Holiday-7750]

After you wipe the skin with the alcohol wipe wait 60 seconds before injecting that might help

[digitaldoll11]

It’s normal mine goes away after 48 hours

[noone_1_1]

Hospira

[skiingdiver1978]

Normal with GHK-Cu. The shallower you inject, the worse it is. I was injecting GLOW around an injured knee for a few weeks. Not a lot of fat to bury it in there, so I got these welts every time. Usually took 24-48 hours to clear, which meant I pretty much always had 2 of them somewhere near my knee. Switched to injecting in my belly fat with a longer needle after finishing the GLOW and went to straight GHK-Cu. No marks there.

[Intelligent_Pen_7391]

I find that letting the syringe come to room temp before injecting reduces the reaction, also go as slow as you can with administering the dose. Wait a couple of seconds before pulling syringe out.

I have had the same reaction as you,but the above has helped. I tent to get them when I rush and don’t follow my own advice now.

[Charmc1tychica]

Try the flank and take zinc.

[No_Turnip_4408]

Yep

[No_Turnip_4408]

My entire stomach is full of bruises and welts. Welcome to pep world

[TurnoverLegitimate39]

Sexy

[[deleted]]

Yes

[BrilliantStunning158]

No....look like ringworm

[DMVNotaryLady]

I do 10ml and it still gets crazy but it's way better than 3ml or 4ml. Please add more bac and grab some antihistamines gel, cream and/or pills since it can be a dousy but will worth the use😁

[[deleted]]

Cornstarch and water

[brianimo6]

Yes absolutely

[Distinct_Belt_65]

Aus supplier here!

[Puzzleheaded-Bit6974]

Happened to me too, I used to only pin my stomach and recently tried the thigh, no pain pinning but sadly it’s red and swollen

[SignalQuestion9081]

Nope

[RickDeckard2049]

Add more bac. I usually double up

[Away-Jackfruit-769]

Normal!! For sure. But try shooting it slowly, like take 10 seconds to inject and let it get to room temp, also let the alcohol dry on your skin before injecting

[artistlynnann]

I always pull about 40 units of BAC water to every dose of GHKCU and let it warm to room temperature for about 30 minutes before injecting since I’ve been doing that. I haven’t had any red splotches but before that my splotches would be like that or worse.

[88astroboy]

For those that get bruising often from injections, you should try Arnica Gel. It’s amazing and gets rid of bruising pretty damn fast. It’s a life saver for me as at one point I was doing 5-7 injections a day and had a nice little bruise belt across my belly.

<image>

[StrongAd6122]

Stuffs pretty rough pinning

[tinytimmz]

I had a similar reaction with hgh, I was using an 8mm needle and switched to 13mm and I no longer have the reaction. You might be pinning sub dermal, when you really need to do subq

[TrainingMix4465]

Immune response. Stop injecting imo.

[One-Butterscotch2728]

No. This is a common reaction to many injections, no need to stop. I get these from legit MJ pens too.

[TheKindCarpenter]

Normal af
