GHK-Cu

What is common, what is less so, and what to do if something is out of the ordinary.

What most people notice

Slight redness or tenderness at the injection site in the hours that follow.

What can also happen

Brief itching or a small bruise.
Mild fatigue the first few times.
A drop in blood pressure or brief dizziness, occasionally reported.

To reduce these effects

Change the injection site every time.
Inject into a relaxed area, never onto irritated skin.
Press the button slowly: a slow injection stings less. The pen itself stays cold until the injection.
Do not raise the dose on your own.

When to talk to a professional

With this product, especially if you notice:

Redness that spreads, marked warmth, or pain that increases at the injection site.
A skin reaction that lasts more than a few days.
Dizziness that keeps happening.

If a symptom is severe, lingers or worries you, stop the product and talk to a healthcare professional. An immediate reaction after the injection, such as trouble breathing or swelling of the face, needs medical care right away.
