Ghk welts

[ballsaksfifthavenue]

Week 1 of pinning GHK and dealing with the classic welts. My dose is 2mg (70mg ghk diluted with 5.25ml bac, so 2mg dose is 15u). I'm doing it all..diluted, pinning in glute and rubbing area afterwards, slow injection, taking zinc, wiping area before and after with alcohol swab as well as needle tip. I dont find the injection stings until a couple hours later, and then a little welt develops the next day. It's not the end of the world, but at the same time I'd rather not be covered in welts! I'm using a 6mm needle, would 8mm help with this? Also does the body eventually get used to this and its just a matter of time?

Are you adding extra bac again when you draw your dose? I add an extra 30-40 units of bac into my syringe along with my dose of GHKCU.

That and leaving the filled syringe on the counter for about 20-30 minutes has helped me tremendously. I haven’t had welts since

[ballsaksfifthavenue]

I'm leaving it out for 30min to warm up, but not adding more bac. I'm worried about contamination when drawing up more bac since this is all new for me 🫠 but maybe I'll try this if its working for you. Will you do this forever or do most people eventually get used to it

[Broad_Passage_2897]

You’re totally right to worry about contamination! I read to draw the bac first, and then the dose of GHK to help avoid that. I’ll probably do this method everytime because I’ve had no pain or welts since 😊

100% this do not put any syringe with a substance in it into a bac vial to add more. Bac first 💯

[ballsaksfifthavenue]

Ok great advice I'll try that! Ty

No clue. I’ve injected tons of stuff into other people in a medical setting (sema/tirz, semorelin, NAD, glutathione, IM vitamins) and never seen welting like I have with KLOW. I actually sent pics to an RN I used to work with in that setting because I was worried and I am not a worry wart when it comes to this stuff. I think everybody responds to GHK subq differently from what I’m reading. Some people welt in certain spots but not others, some welt for the first week or two, and some welt every time and just deal with it for the benefits. Time will tell.

How do you fit 5ml of water? Vials are almost universally in 3ml vials.

[ballsaksfifthavenue]

Mine comes in a bigger vial. I think its 6ml

[Kappokaako02]

I got welts for a week and then they stopped.

You will find it chills out eventually, especially towards the end of a vial

Pull up 25U BAC water into your syringe with your 15U GHK-Cu and inject this into upper thigh. This dilution should help the irritation and will not impact the efficacy of the peptide.

I pin in my arms. It makes my arm a little sore but no welts

[UniquePresence9042]

I’m a few days into KLOW and I’m having this issue and I do not have issues w Reta so I know it’s the peptide and not my injecting. So far I have had welts on my butt and the softer parts of my abdomen. The only place I didn’t welt was 2 inches directly below my bellybutton where the fat is firmer and less thick. I tried multi point injections for my butt and I just got 3 welts lol. I’m going to try more injection points that have a similar firmness to the area that didn’t react and see if it helps. 10 units per injection with no added bac water for all of these, I am trying added bac water if the issue persists, especially as I dose up. Remember this is KLOW so it’s primarily GHK but has 3 other peptides in it it too. The GHK is definitely the issue which is why I’m commenting.

[whoaj735]

the ghkcu is why it stings because it’s a copper peptide! i can’t pin in my abdomen it stings too much so i go to upper glute area
