I'm 61, I kept the lighting the same, room the same and no makeup rule to document changes.

1. First picture is at the beginning of my research. Massively inflamed, on several pharmaceuticals, grey cast to the skin and hair is extremely frizzy. You can see around the eyes and cheeks how puffy and inflamed everything looks.

2. Second picture is after 4 weeks of peptides. I am now off of all pharmaceuticals except Levothyroxine (for thyroid). My eyes have opened up, my hair is less frizzy and the puffiness is leaving and my face is starting to show it's structure. Hair is less frizzy and the grey cast to the skin is leaving

3. Third picture is 12 weeks into the peptide journey. Skin now showing some fine lines as the swelling is going down (I'm more than okay with this) but is noticeably healthier looking. Swelling around the eyes has continued to reduce and the overall puffiness is starting to fade. Hair is still improving. Still off all pharmaceuticals and my Levothyroxine had to be reduced!

Unexpected change: Hair getting darker, grey receding ...holy cow!

Stacks (not all at once)

Tirz 5mg (ongoing)

GHKcu (ongoing)

NAD+ (ongoing)

KLOW (individual vials/8 week run)

Epithalon 1 cycle

Thymosin Alpha 1 for 1 cycle

I'm taking the month of March off of everything except Tirz and GHKcu for a reset...going to research nootropics over the summer.

So, to the people who say peptides is voodoo snake oil (which are obviously not reading this), I say...really?

Wow - this is an obvious change. I think I need your advise 🙂

I am on Tirz but I have frizzy, grey hair and dry skin (starting to show in my face).

What would be your first option to add?

That's impressive results, congrats
 
Beautiful! It's always so satisfying when you get visual proof that what you are doing is working!

Are you using anything directly on skin?

I've found Generic Tretinoin cream and Copper Peptide Serum from the Ordinary to be game changers for skincare. Just started GHK-CU Subq, NAD+ is next.
Are you referring to my questions or the lady who started the thread?

is this the one you are referring to

You've dropped at least 10 years off your face, holy cow is right!

Any idea which is affecting hair color?

My first add on was NAD+ then GHKcu...both of these have given me the most obvious gains.

Amazing results!! And you're right, it's evidential proof that the peps do work.

Just curious about your experience with the GHK-cu. How do you avoid the spicy bites? (If you've answered this in another thread, please just point me there!).
I pull 30units of bac water into the syringe first, then add the GHKcu and it is very diluted.

Also, the longer I have taken it, the less after burn I get and different sites get different results...so for me, on my left side abdomen seems to be the sweet area, don't ask me why, lol

I had to go research that as well.

Copper is required for the enzyme tyrosinase, which produces melanin. When copper availability improves, existing follicles can produce darker pigment.

This was a completely unexpected side effect.

Holy hell!!!! You look amazing (& were pretty to begin with)!

Have you cycled your GHK? Sorry if this was already asked and answered.
No I don't cycle...I stay on it.

I make my own GHKcu serum using cosmetic grade GHKcu and Hyaluronic Acid...I also make a morning serum using GHKcu, Snap 8 and Sny-Ake w/Hyaluronic Acid. I don't know if they do anything, but I just have fun making them like a mad scientist, with a milligram scale and vials all over the place.
 
MeedzMoar said:
Now I need to know your NAD+ schedule, dosing, and cycling. LOL
I started low (thankfully) at 25mg every other day. I felt the effects immediately (I think my NAD levels were on life support). Now I do 50mg every other day.

I've heard conflicting stories on the need to cycle off NAD, but I'm going to be conservative and go ahead and cycle off for the month of March, see how long I last. 😆
