Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine Copper
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It has been studied for its role in wound healing, skin remodeling, and hair growth stimulation.
GHK-Cu modulates copper metabolism and has been shown to stimulate collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, promote stem cell proliferation, and influence gene expression related to tissue remodeling.
Clinical studies confirm GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, promotes skin remodeling, and accelerates wound healing. Genomic studies show it modulates expression of over 4,000 genes, many related to tissue repair. It is widely available in cosmetic formulations.
Typical Dose
200mcg
Range
100-300mcg
Frequency
1x/day (subcutaneous or topical)
Route
Topical or SubQ
Duration
4-8 weeks
Reconstitution
5mg vial + 2mL bacteriostatic water = 2,500mcg/mL
Notes
Topical application is the most common route. SubQ injections are used for localized tissue remodeling. Topical products typically contain 1–3% GHK-Cu concentration.
These biomarkers are commonly tracked to assess response and safety. Run baseline labs before starting, mid-cycle labs halfway through, and post-cycle labs 1–2 weeks after the final dose.
Build a protocol with GHK-Cu, schedule blood work for key biomarkers, and track your results.
