Added GHK-Cu to my BPC/TB-500 stack and the knee pain is actually gone (not just 'less bad')

I've had a crappy knee for a few years now and been considering adding GHK-Cu. BPC-157 and TB-500 helped but never fully resolved it. Pain would flare up every time I squatted heavy.

Started GHK-Cu last week at 1mg daily (morning injection). First thing I noticed: the burning sensation is real lol. Not painful, just this weird localized warmth at the injection site for like 20 minutes. For most people, that's just how GHK reacts subcutaneously. Totally normal.

After day 5, something shifted. My knee stopped that dull ache I'd gotten used to. By day 10, I was squatting without thinking about it. No compensation patterns and no annoying tightness. I'm kinda shocked.

The thing nobody mentions is that GHK-Cu works with with BPC/TB-500, not instead of them. Like the other two peptides primed my tissue and GHK actually finished the job. My protocol is now BPC-157 + TB-500 (blended) every other day, plus GHK-Cu 1mg daily. No side effects or anything negative to note.

If you're thinking about adding it: start at 1mg, expect the burn (it's fine), and give it 2 weeks before deciding. Also (and I cannot stress this enough) reconstitute with bacteriostatic water at room temp. Cold water can lead to a cloudy vial and you're stuck with wasted peptide.
