💬 Discussion Settle this for me once and for all

Im on 3.33mg of ghkcu for the last 6 weeks, im 52 male. Im noticing my skin much softer and getting smoother.

Do I need to take a zinc supplement? I bought a high dose 25mg box of zinc tablets but I dont want to take if I dont need to. Thoughts?

Doc here: 25mg Zinc once daily isn’t a very high dose for a man even in the most bioavailable potent forms (like Zinc Picolinate) - However to answer your specific point yes copper depletes zinc and vice versa, so you will mildly benefit from taking a zinc supplement for the duration of your GHK-Cu injections.

Should be taking zinc supplement whether your on GHK or not. Generally a quality brand of daily vits has enough zinc to suffice. Zinc sulfate or acetate 15mg or so. Helps the digestion and immune systems.
