KLOW is a four-peptide Multi-Peptide Repair Blend designed for broad tissue support: inflammation control, skin/hair quality, collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and GI integrity. Each 80 mg vial contains:
- GHK-Cu – 50 mg: Copper peptide studied for collagen/elastin production, skin and hair quality, and wound healing.
- KPV – 10 mg: Alpha-MSH fragment studied for potent anti-inflammatory activity, gut support, and anti-microbial effects.
- BPC-157 – 10 mg: Gastric pentadecapeptide studied for tissue repair, GI integrity, and angiogenesis.
- TB-500 – 10 mg: Thymosin Beta-4 fragment studied for cell migration, tissue remodeling, and reduced scarring.
— 80 mg Blend Vial —
Reconstitute: Add 2.5 mL (250 units) bacteriostatic water.
Administration: Subcutaneous injection.
Timing: Once daily; no fasting requirement noted.
Storage: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C after reconstitution.
Schedule: Once daily, 5–7 days per week.
Cycle Length: 4–6 week cycle, followed by a 4–6 week washout period.
Goal: Broad tissue repair — inflammation control, skin/hair quality, collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and GI integrity.
Standard Protocol
| Phase | Dose | Syringe (U-100) |
|---|---|---|
| Entire cycle (4–6 weeks) | ≈1.7–2 mg GHK-Cu + 0.33 mg each of BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV, once daily | 8–10 units (0.08–0.10 mL) |
Note: GHK-Cu can sting at the injection site — see the Copper Reactivity section below for dilution and site-rotation tips.
- Potent anti-inflammatory support.
- Improves skin and hair health; wrinkle reduction and better elasticity.
- Minimizes scarring; stimulates collagen production.
- Promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation).
- Accelerates healing of muscle and connective tissues.
- Improves nerve regeneration; supports cell migration and tissue repair.
- Gut support — helps with leaky-gut symptoms, inflammatory bowel conditions, and some food intolerances.
- Helps balance immune activity; may mitigate symptoms of certain autoimmune disorders.
- Potential benefits in immune-mediated inflammatory conditions (e.g., dermatitis, allergic asthma).
- Anti-microbial activity noted against S. aureus and C. albicans.
While side effects are not common, you may experience:
- Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, hives, stinging, irritation, itching, knotting, bruising)
- Increased skin sensitivity (temporary)
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Allergic reaction (rare)
For some users, GHK-Cu (a copper peptide) is painful to inject and/or causes injection site reactions (redness, swelling, bruising, pain, or a knot beneath the skin lasting several days); others experience no discomfort at all. Sensitivity to copper ions is more likely in those with low baseline ceruloplasmin, an already-inflamed skin barrier or microcirculation, or trace metal imbalances (e.g., low zinc or high iron). When injected, free copper can temporarily separate from GHK, generating mild oxidative activity and histamine release in the area.
To prevent or minimize reactions: (1) always rotate injection sites — never use the same spot twice in a row; (2) after drawing your daily dose, add 30–90 units of water to the shot to dilute the GHK-Cu; (3) note that combining GHK-Cu with BPC-157 (as in KLOW) substantially decreases injection pain versus GHK-Cu alone.
If injections remain intolerable even after dilution, the remaining reconstituted solution can be mixed into a half-ounce to an ounce of a thick moisturizing cream or ointment and applied topically beneath a secondary moisturizer.
