I recently changed suppliers and got some GHK-CU. I sent it off for testing and the bad news was it was under the mg it was supposed to be. Good news was it was 99.1% purity with no endotoxins.

I used it on my test subject and they had minor stomach issues which I read is normal but got really flushed for 40-50 minutes. So flush they almost looked purple. When it cleared up it was as if it never happened but that didn’t happen with previous batches which I never bother to get tested.

I’m assuming it’s normal but don’t hear people talk about it much like they do with MT or CJC.

I used to take my GHK at bed time so maybe I slept through this part of it but I recently switched to day time research so I can take collagen peptides a couple hours later.

Started this yesterday and both times, in 15-20 minutes my bowels were going ballistic. I had to go right away.

I get all my peptides tested when I get a new kit. This was 99.5% purity and undetectable endotoxins. Dose is 2.5mg.

Is this a side effect anyone else experiences?

I’ve done some searching and can’t seem to find anything definitive.

Here are a list of benefits I get on Berberine:

Sciatica pain gone most likely due to inflammation suppression.

Significant drop in ApoB and LDL

Blood pressure from 130s/80s to 110s/70s.

Avg daily blood sugar in the 90s even on high carb days. It keeps my levels smooth and responsive like nothing else I’ve ever tried.

It’s been a godsend for me but I can’t take the GI issues any longer. I’m cramping and have constant runs and the worse smelling gas. Like offensive level smelling.

I bought DHB but haven’t started it yet. I’m 3 days off Berberine and starting to get relief from the GI stuff and am terrified of it coming back.

Does DHB work for those that have tried it without the GI distress?
