GHK-Cu injection site pain and redness

Posted by nina489 in Safety & Side Effects - 2 points, 0 comments.

I have been using the GLOW Stack (/peptides/glow-stack) for a few weeks now. The BPC-157 and TB-500 are totally fine, but the GHK-Cu is basically a nightmare to inject.

I get this intense stinging and redness every single time. It is almost like a burn (very uncomfortable, no?). For me, the irritation lasts for a few hours after the shot. I know the profile says mild irritation, but mine feels much stronger than that.

Does anyone have a trick to make this less painful? I tried rotating sites, but it still happens. I am wondering if it is the concentration or maybe the way I am mixing it.

I really want the collagen benefits for my skin, but I cannot stand the stinging. Could it be a sensitivity to the copper, or is this just normal for everyone? I would like to know if there is a safer or more comfortable way to run this without feeling like my skin is on fire. Please share your experiences with this.
