Yes you injected GHK,, which still boosts collagen
I never got brusing because I usually dilute it heavily with bac water.
I replied on dc
ye ghk + bac injection for a lil or pbs + ghkcu injection for a lot , you could do pbs+ghkcu intranasally i guess? but you'd need insane doses in theory, look at hexarelin dosages for example https://sci-hub.se/10.1530/eje.0.1350407
that dude is completely retarded, it oozes through all his postsNigga just sayin shit. Good gatekeep
Tales. GHK-cu signals lowering of IGF-1 specifically in inflammatory responses in the body primarily of the expression in lung tissue to prevent bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Stupid nigger. There's ZERO studies on any sort of systemic lowering of IGF-1. I've ran this peptide and encountered ZERO issues.
There’s zero studies claiming as to what degree though so when you dig in further you see what I was talking about. I even used Ai to go through studies. Absolutely nothing. If I had to guess it’s to no noticeable degree. But when in regards to inflammation that’s beneficial. Inflammation influences cancer.
GHK-Cu, on paper, seems to be the single best looksmaxxing compound there is (perfect skin, anti-aging, surgery recovery, neurogenesis⁹,¹¹ etc)¹, yet no one seems to be reaping any of its benefits. What’s even more bizarre is that injection-related pain is massively reported, more consistently so than its supposed benefits².
Quickly, Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK) is a tripeptide isolated from human plasma³, which possesses a high affinity for copper (II) ions, with which it spontaneously forms a complex (GHK-Cu). GHK alone has been shown to be responsible for the collagen boost⁴ and no injection-related pain has been reported with it⁵, so go for it if you want but it's the added copper that is responsible for this myriad of blessings;
EXAMPLES :
The complex, unlike GHK alone, helps activate matrix metalloproteinases, which break down damaged tissue so it can be replaced with healthy tissue⁶.

OR
Compositions of copper (II) containing compounds have been show to accelerate the healing of wounds in warm-blooded animals, and more specifically the systemic loading of copper (II) compounds to accelerate the rate of wound healing following injury or surgery to warm-blooded animals.⁷

; ...and consequently what seems to cause tissue damage during injection.
If we look at the cayman chemicals reviews of the molecules in question :

The main differences are the addition of a copper atom and a significantly worse solubility profile, which suggests a causal relationship between these two differences (meaning that the added copper induces the worse solubility).
In fact, we know that metals are gay
Gay meaning they have different bonding properties vs carbon, oxygen, etc (this whole field of gay metals is “inorganic chemistry”) The reason for this is that metals basically have up to ten relevant electrons , which have comically complex geometries, are much larger (radius) and less bound to the nucelus

Simply, they like to move a lot, they're playful building blocks that like to change and mixother atoms, like those in water or air, are like super strong blocks that hold together really well
. They don’t like to change as much, so they are usually more stable.
Seriously, metals require ions to stabilize in various contexts, primarily due to their tendency to lose electrons and form positive charges, the ions in PBS can neutralize the positive charge of the copper ions, reducing the likelihood of oxidation or other reactions that would destabilize the copper. PBS also maintains a stable pH, which is important for keeping copper in its soluble form. In bac water or regular saline, changes in pH can lead to precipitation or oxidation of copper ions. (5 to 7 for bac and reg saline vs 7.2 to 7.4 for Phosphate Buffered Saline)
Hence why GHK-Cu needs PBS (again because the ionic solution (has a lot of ions) stabilizes the added copper), otherwise the copper-nitrogen bonds are likely to break.

The common folk seems to be dissolving GHK-Cu in Bac Water since that is the usual commercially available and promoted solvent for peptides².
However, Bac Water has a lower ion concentration than PBS (which makes the copper less likely to be stable), I hypothesize that the pain comes from the free copper atoms raping your tissues (not fully understood).

Making PBS at home looks annoying af so just fucking buy it : https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/product/sigma/d8537
WORKS AND STABLE

Direct on-site injection tho

WORKS BUT THEORETICALLY NOT STABLE, since the PH will be too low
You'd need to adjsut it yourself⁷

BAC WATER :
DOESN'T WORK (YOU ONLY GET GHK AND INJECTION SITE DAMAGE)²
Topical :
Topical formulations of GHKcu have been developed and are effective
BetTar:
The best one (both low-cost, most effective and most stable) being Bet Tar which is a recent (2023) chinese developped ionic-liquid-based delivery vehicle composed of betaine and tartaric acid

Concering DMSO :
IT DOESN'T WORK (IT'S EVEN LESS STABLE THAN BAC WATER since it has less ions (water (bac water) has H+ and OH- (water)))
These niggas tried to study its structure while dissolving it in DMSO¹⁰ : https://sci-hub.ru/10.1016/0162-0134(89)84011-5, which gave them completly retarded results "under their conditions"
Metals in general seem to be struggling in DMSO

Goodluck rabbitholemaxxing this
TLDR :
- RECONSTITUTE GHK-Cu IN PBS or DPBS (which you can buy) and inject it daily
- BUY and RECONSTITUTE GHK IN BAC WATER IF YOU ONLY WANT COLLAGEN BOOST AND EASE OF USE and inject it daily
- TRY TO MAKE a [Bet] [Tar] GHK-Cu Topical Liquid Solution, if you want, for when you can't inject or as first-aid

I never noticed the decrease. And I know what it feels like to nuke my IGF-1 cause of enclomiphene. Plus it increases life span. I think part of the reason the drug is considered an anti-aging drug is because of the effects of IGF-1 in inflammation.
