GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Levels decline significantly with age — from ~200 ng/mL at age 20 to ~80 ng/mL by age 60. It is renowned for its skin rejuvenation, hair growth, and wound healing properties, and has been shown to activate over 4,000 genes related to repair and regeneration.

Half-Life

~0.5–1 hour (but biological effects last much longer)

Common Dose

1.5–2 mg per day (~10–12 units on a U-100 syringe)

Route

Subcutaneous injection (rotate sites — belly

Frequency

Once daily — many do daily for consistent skin/collagen effects

Mechanism of Action

GHK-Cu shuttles copper into cells, where it acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense (SOD), and DNA repair. It activates 4,000+ genes related to tissue remodeling, wound healing, antioxidant defense, anti-inflammatory pathways, and stem cell function. It also reduces inflammatory cytokines and stimulates dermal fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans.

Reported Benefits

  • Skin rejuvenation, smoothness, and elasticity
  • Hair growth and reduced hair loss
  • Wound healing and scar reduction
  • Strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production
  • Anti-aging gene expression
  • Potential neuroprotective and cognitive benefits
  • Bone and cartilage support

Dosage Protocol

Common dose1.5–2 mg per day (~10–12 units on a U-100 syringe)
Range1–3 mg per day
FrequencyOnce daily — many do daily for consistent skin/collagen effects
AdministrationSubcutaneous injection (rotate sites — belly, thigh)

Notes

Available in 50 mg and 100 mg vials. 50 mg vial reconstituted with 3 mL bac water → ~16.67 mg/mL: 1 unit = 0.167 mg (10–12 units daily ≈ 1.67–2 mg). 100 mg vial with 3 mL bac water → ~33.3 mg/mL: 1 unit = 0.333 mg (5–6 units daily ≈ 1.67–2 mg). GHK-Cu commonly causes temporary stinging, redness, or itching at the injection site — inject slowly and rotate sites. Cycle 4–8 weeks (some go 6–12 weeks for visible skin changes), then 2–4 weeks off.

Research Status

Extensive research over 40+ years, especially in dermatology and wound healing.

Storage

Lyophilized: refrigerate. Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within 30 days. Protect from light.

Legal Status

Research chemical (injectable). Topical forms widely available in cosmetics.
