@sara.pepkit: first cycle taught me every lesson the hard way. here's the rundown i wish someone gave me before pin one! โค๏ธ โ 1. Week one felt like nothing and i almost quit. Day 6 i was convinced my bottle was bunk. Day 12 my skin started feeling different before anything looked different. ๐ ghk-cu works cellular first, visible second ๐ Hydration and softness come before any visible change ๐ Every quitter quits at day 6-10 right before the shift starts โ 2. The shedding phase weeks 2-4 nearly broke me. My hair shed hard and it felt like ghk-cu was making everything worse. Turned out it was working exactly as it should. ๐ ghk-cu pushes resting follicles into the active phase โ old hairs release first ๐ Shedding means it's working. New growth comes underneath ๐ The shed usually wraps by week 6-8 โ 3. My reconstitution math was off on bottle one. Caught it going back through my log at week 4. Under-dosed the whole first month convinced ghk-cu was slow. 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 click the link in my bio) on the app store. 30 seconds and you'll never miscalculate again โ 4. Storage decides whether your bottle actually works. My first bottle sat on the counter one weekend. My second lived strictly in the fridge and results doubled. ๐ Reconstituted lives in the fridge. Always. Zero exceptions ๐ Direct light and heat kill copper peptides fast ๐ An open mixed bottle holds 28-30 days. After that, toss it โ 5. Month one is the foundation, not the payoff. The real changes are months 2-4. Most people quit at day 30 convinced ghk-cu doesn't work โ right before the mirror shift starts. ๐ ghk-cu builds on itself. Each week compounds on the last ๐ The dramatic before/afters online are usually 3+ months in ๐ Treat month one as the warm up. The transformation comes after save this before pin one. these are the lessons cycle one always teaches โ get them without paying the tuition
