GHK-Cu + KPV Blend dosage and reconstitution
GHK-Cu for skin and collagen with a fixed KPV chaser to keep the site from staying inflamed. One daily shot, 8 to 16 weeks or longer.
Staying safe
Things people sometimes notice
- A sharper sting than most peptides, and soreness at the site
- A faint blue-green mark where you injected, from the copper, gone in a day or two
- The mixed solution turning blue, which is normal
- Mild fatigue for a few days when starting
Stop and get help if (trouble breathing or swelling: call 911)
- Rash, swelling of the face or lips, or trouble breathing (an allergic reaction)
- Nausea, stomach pain or a metallic taste that persists, which can be too much copper
- Pain at a site that spreads or gets worse rather than fading
Talk to your doctor first, especially if
- You have cancer now or have had it. These peptides push growth and repair signals, so this is a hard stop, not a judgment call.
- You have Wilson's disease or any condition that affects how your body handles copper
- You take copper or zinc supplements at high doses, since the balance between them matters
Mixing it
Here is the math for a 60 mg vial (50 mg GHK-Cu + 10 mg KPV) mixed with 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. That gives 20 mg/ml total, so one unit on a U-100 syringe is about 167 mcg of GHK-Cu plus 33 mcg of KPV. A 12-unit draw is the standard 2000 mcg + 400 mcg dose. The 110 mg vial is a different ratio (100 mg GHK-Cu + 10 mg KPV), so pick that size in the calculator rather than scaling the 60 mg numbers.
Let the vial reach room temperature and wipe the top with an alcohol swab.
Add 3 ml of bacteriostatic water slowly, aiming at the side of the glass.
Swirl gently until dissolved. Do not shake. The solution turning clear blue is the copper, and is normal.
Draw 12 units on a U-100 syringe for the standard 2000 mcg GHK-Cu + 400 mcg KPV dose.
Store in the fridge and use within about four weeks once mixed. Do not freeze.
Rotate injection sites; the copper can leave a temporary blue-green mark.
