Cycle: Recommended 12-24 Weeks, Cycle off 30 Days off
Timing: Before Bed – Apply to Face and Neck
Frequency: 5 days on/2 days off
Uses: skincare, hair restoration, and tissue regeneration for its protective and restorative properties
GHK-Cu acts as a "carrier peptide" that delivers copper to cells, stimulating enzymatic processes involved in tissue repair.
- Collagen Production: It boosts collagen and elastin synthesis, helping to improve skin firmness and elasticity.
- Wrinkle Reduction: It is used to soften fine lines and smooth rough skin texture.
- Barrier Repair: It helps repair protective skin barrier proteins and reduces damage from UV radiation.
2. Hair Growth & Scalp Health
The peptide is used in topical serums and injections to support hair and scalp health.
Follicle Support: It increases hair follicle size, stimulates thicker hair growth, and can help slow down shedding.
3. Wound Healing & Tissue Regeneration
Beyond cosmetics, GHK-Cu is valued in regenerative and longevity medicine for tissue repair.
- Healing: It acts as a signaling molecule released after injury to attract immune and endothelial cells, promoting faster wound closure and new blood vessel formation.
- Anti-Inflammation: It exhibits strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to reduce oxidative stress in the body
Benefits
- Improved skin firmness, elasticity, and thickness
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Supports collagen and elastin production
- Wound healing and skin repair support
- May improve hair growth and follicle health
- Reduced skin inflammation and irritation
- Antioxidant activity in skin tissue
Contraindications
Copper Metabolism
- Wilson's disease or any copper metabolism disorder (absolute stop)
- Known copper sensitivity or allergy
Cancer
- Active cancer (flag for clinician review, tissue remodeling and blood vessel effects, though the evidence here is more mixed than the healing peptides)
- Cancer history in remission (flag for clinician review)
Pregnancy and fertility
- Currently pregnant
- Breastfeeding
Other
- Severe kidney or liver disease (flag for clinician review, copper clearance)
- Open infected wounds at application or injection site
- Prior reaction to copper peptide products
