Community Protocol
GHK-Cu
Reconstitution examples, syringe conversion and community-reported usage patterns.
Educational and calculation-reference material only. Community reports are uncontrolled anecdotes and do not replace professional medical guidance, product labeling, or individualized clinical monitoring.
Scope
Reconstitution examples, syringe conversion and community-reported usage patterns.
Available strengths: 50 MG and 100 MG
Preparation Examples
These are calculation examples only. The concentration assumptions below are explicit so syringe units are never separated from vial strength and diluent volume.
| Setup | Diluent | Concentration | Unit conversion |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 MG vial example | Add 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water | 20 mg/mL | Each U-100 unit = 0.20 mg |
| 100 MG vial example | Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water | 33.33 mg/mL | Each U-100 unit = about 0.333 mg |
Syringe Conversion
| Reported amount | 50 MG setup | 100 MG setup |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 mg | 2.5 units | 1.5 units |
| 1 mg | 5 units | 3 units |
| 2 mg | 10 units | 6 units |
| 3 mg | 15 units | 9 units |
Always recalculate from the actual vial strength and diluent volume. A U-100 unit is 0.01 mL; it is not a dose by itself.
Community-Reported Patterns
| Recurring report | Frequency seen | Context in reports |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5-1 mg | Daily or near-daily | Lower-start reports |
| 2 mg | Daily or 5 days/week | Most recurring amount reviewed |
| Above 2 mg | Daily in some posts | Highly variable, less consistent |
Observations
- Across the reviewed discussions, 1-2 mg was the most repeated daily amount.
- Six-to-eight-week runs appeared in multiple discussions, but cycle structure was not consistent.
- Contributors repeatedly warned that syringe units are meaningless without vial strength and diluent volume.
Caveats
- Injection-site burning or irritation was frequently discussed; severity and mitigation reports varied.
- Copper balance and zinc supplementation were discussed by users, but online community claims are not a substitute for laboratory monitoring or clinician guidance.
