In this personal vlog, the speaker shares a two‑week update on using the peptide GHK‑CU. They describe significant injection‑site soreness, especially a burning sensation in the thighs that persists despite rubbing the area after injection. Morning joint pain is also noted, with the speaker wondering if the peptide’s known collagen‑regeneration properties might be affecting their joints. A consulted practitioner was unable to explain these side effects, prompting the speaker to undertake independent research, including obtaining a peptide protocol book and considering a second peptide that might counteract the adverse effects. The speaker commits to weekly video updates, invites questions, and plans to monitor progress over the next weeks.

Hey, okay. It's been what, 2 weeks since I recorded, since I started my peptide GHK-CU. Here's what I can tell you. Boy, it, it can leave some sore spots. But I found that if I rub it in after I do the injection, it doesn't get quite so sore. The thighs are a no-go. No matter what I do, it burns so bad. So finding different spots and only having 2 arms and doing it every day can be a challenge. My joints are aching and they ache really bad in the morning. And so I talked to a fellow practitioner and he doesn't know anything about that. So it is up to me now to do some research. He gave me another book to get, another peptide protocol book. So I'll be getting that. Planning to start a second peptide now that I know what's going on with this one. Maybe one of the other peptides will counteract that. So now this peptide also, GHKCU, is also known for its ability to regenerate collagen. And he was questioning maybe if that's what's going on in my joints. So we will see, which means they would be better and maybe my knees wouldn't crack anymore. I don't know, but they're still cracking. So I'm going to do some research on that. Don't need to check the copper level for 6 months, but I'm only on this for 6 weeks. So I will keep you up to date. I will try to make sure I do a video every week because peptides are very interesting. So I will let you know how things are going. If you have any questions, reach out.
