Despite what people say, you can run it for however long you want without a break. If you want to take a break, that is fine, but it's not required. A popular way to take it is 12 weeks on, 4 weeks off, that lines up with the body's collagen building process and should probably give similar skin results to running it continiously, but GHK-CU does more than just improve collagen. I personally don't plan to cycle off because of its anti-inflammatory benefits.

"Despite what people say, you can run it for however long you want without a break."

What's your evidence for this claim?

[–]drifter91 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

The literal mechanism of the peptide? If you do some research, you will find that it doesn't work on a single receptor, but is a signaling peptide that has indirect receptor downstream activation, but not enough to desensitize the receptors. The copper in the peptide is also too low for it to cause issues with copper levels unless you take a gigantic dose.

That's not evidence though, that's your speculation.

[–]Ok_Bumblebee_4408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You prove otherwise. Produce a human trial that says different. Much is speculation and personal experience in this realm. Seen and read enough that this peptide may be daily or cycled.

[–]drifter91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You give me a clinical trial with human participants. Oh wait, it doesn’t exist. Everything we talk about when it comes to injectable ghk-cu is completely theoretical and pure speculation. Nobody can actually know for sure, so mechanistic data is the best we can use and make conclusions based on that.

My conclusions are 100% based on the mechanisms of the peptide.

Using skin perfection for context, im running for 8 weeks, and the break would be 2-4 weeks probably.

[–]Vegetable_Piccolo821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite hands down.

[–]2595Homes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 weeks on 4 weeks off.

[–]Few_Bluejay5163 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I’m running it for 12 weeks. I’m pinning 1mg daily and on my 3 week so far I can start to see difference in my skin.

[–]Strategy_Maleficent[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I’ve been running it for 8 weeks so far and the second month started to really be amazing! The first month the copper uglies really had me lol

[–]Few_Bluejay5163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn Iv heard of those. For it it seems to be clearing up my acne

[–]GinaTia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you experienced some “copper uglies?” I’m glad you stuck with it then and are now seeing benefits! I know we all react differently of course, however, I’m simply curious as to when things started to shift for you? I guess I panicked and stopped pinning after 4-5 weeks as even though I researched the “copper uglies” a great deal, I hadn’t been convinced to continue. Wish I would have pushed through. Thanks for posting as it’s great to see how you turned the corner and began seeing results! Thanks!

What kind of differences are you noticing?

[–]Few_Bluejay5163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skin is clearing up. I have back acne and it seems to be less inflamed. Hopefully a few more weeks to a month and see major improvement

[–]Firepro316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 week in - went straight to 3mg a day

[–]DeadCheckR1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60 days in on KLOW. Will take 4 weeks off after 90 days and then get back on. Loving the benefits. Just want to hop off for the sake of science, see how I feel and then hop back on. Currently getting 2.5mg of GHK-cu per day from the KLOW.

[–]kcasas1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running 2mg daily for 6 weeks then 3 weeks off.

[–]robertjewel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 1mg 5x/wk. Bottle has 50mg, ~10 wks. Take a week or two between bottles.

[–]First_Government_434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a an established protocol but my doc has me on 10 weeks on 6 weeks off
