GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide first identified in human plasma. It is present in various tissues throughout the body and has been the subject of scientific research for several decades due to its role in cellular signalling, tissue remodelling, and regenerative processes.
GHK-Cu levels are known to decline with age, which has contributed to growing research interest in its potential applications.
Areas of Research Interest
GHK-Cu has been investigated in laboratory and preclinical studies for its potential involvement in:
- Skin appearance and skin quality
- Collagen and extracellular matrix regulation
- Hair follicle biology
- Tissue remodelling
- Cellular signalling pathways
- Antioxidant activity
- Wound-healing mechanisms
- Inflammatory response regulation
Research in these areas is ongoing, and many potential applications remain under investigation.
Skin Research
GHK-Cu is commonly studied for its interaction with skin-related proteins and growth factors. Laboratory research has explored its potential role in:
- Supporting collagen production
- Improving skin elasticity
- Enhancing skin appearance
- Supporting extracellular matrix integrity
- Promoting tissue remodelling processes
Because of these properties, GHK-Cu has become a widely researched ingredient within cosmetic and dermatological fields.
Hair Research
GHK-Cu has also attracted attention in hair-related research. Studies have investigated its interaction with:
- Hair follicle cells
- Scalp tissue
- Growth factor signalling pathways
- Hair cycle regulation
Research remains ongoing, and results may vary depending on study design and application methods.
Scientific Interest
Researchers continue to investigate GHK-Cu because it appears to influence a large number of genes and cellular pathways associated with tissue maintenance and repair.
Published studies have suggested that GHK-Cu may play a role in:
- Gene expression modulation
- Cellular communication
- Tissue regeneration pathways
- Oxidative stress responses
- Protein synthesis mechanisms
Further research is required to fully understand these effects.
- Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~33.3 mg/mL concentration.
- Typical daily range: 1–2 mg once daily (gradual titration over 12 weeks).
- Easy measuring: At 33.3 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 333 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe.
- Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); use within 30 days.
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
Educational guide for reconstitution and daily dosing
Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~33.3 mg/mL)
| WEEK | DAILY DOSE (MG) | UNITS (PER INJECTION) (ML) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | 1.0 mg | 3 units (0.03 mL) |
| Weeks 5–8 | 1.5 mg | 4.5 units (0.045 mL) |
| Weeks 9–12 | 2.0 mg | 6 units (0.06 mL) |
Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously, 5 days per week (Mon–Fri) with weekends off[5]. For ≤10-unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30- or 50-unit insulin syringes for improved readability.
