@sara.pepkit: ghk-cu is one of the most popular peptides girls actually run โ but nobody talks girly-to-girly. here's the rundown i needed before pin one. โ 1. Your starting dose might need to be lower than what's online. Women tend to be more responsive to copper peptides at lower doses. Most starter doses floating around are higher than most girls actually need. ๐ Start at the lower end of the protocol ๐ Hold 2-3 weeks before considering a bump ๐ More dose โ better skin. Just more copper burn โ 2. The shedding phase hits harder emotionally for us. Weeks 2-4 your hair might shed and it feels brutal โ especially if you started ghk-cu partly for your hair. ๐ ghk-cu pushes resting follicles into the active phase, which releases old hairs first ๐ Shedding means it's working. New growth comes underneath ๐ Im just a girl who cares about her hair โ this phase is temporary, i promise โ 3. Reconstitution math trips up most beginners before they even pin. ghk-cu vials are small mg counts, which means small margin for error. I got mine wrong on cycle 1. ๐ Vial mg + bac water + syringe units. One wrong number throws off the cycle ๐ Don't trust random reddit threads for the math ๐ I use PepKit โ auto-calculates the exact units based on your vial and syringe ๐ Search PepKit (or go to my bio) on the app store. 30 seconds and you'll never miscalculate again โ 4. Your skin will feel different before it looks different. The first 2 weeks i was checking the mirror every morning. Nothing visible. But around day 10 hydration and softness shifted. ๐ ghk-cu works at a cellular level first ๐ If your skin feels different, it's working ๐ The mirror shift usually starts weeks 5-6 โ 5. Month one is the foundation, not the result. Real skin and hair changes on ghk-cu are months 2-4. Most girls quit at day 30 convinced it isn't working โ right before the payoff. ๐ ghk-cu builds on itself. Each week compounds on the last ๐ The dramatic before/afters online are usually 3+ months in ๐ The girls who ride it out are the ones with the results worth posting save this before pin one. this is the stuff most ghk-cu creators skip because most content isn't written for us
