Those with Wilson's disease or copper metabolism disorders should avoid GHK-CU entirely
But with age, these may become dysfunctional, which highly impairs muscle recovery after an injury
These injections, sometimes called a B12 shot, are administered intramuscularly, ensuring immediate absorption and utilization by the body
Injecting into a vein may mean some of the vitamin is wasted, as it can leave the body via the urine
