GHK-Cu 50MG
A naturally occurring copper-binding peptide - supports collagen synthesis, skin and hair renewal, and cellular repair.
About
A copper-binding tripeptide naturally present in plasma, saliva, and urine — levels decline with age.
Research describes GHK-Cu as a regulator of gene expression favouring tissue repair and anti-inflammatory responses. It supports collagen and elastin synthesis, hair follicle activity, and angiogenesis. Clinical literature notes up-regulation of a broad subset of the human genome toward repair and homeostasis.
Sequence lists GHK-Cu under the Regenerate category - skin, hair, renewal.
Vial content
50 mg lyophilised GHK-Cu in a glass vial, reconstituted to the stated concentration for subcutaneous reference.
At reference, 6 units on a U-50 insulin syringe draws approximately 1 mg. Rotate between abdominal quadrants, outer thighs, and upper arms. The peptide is photo-sensitive - keep the vial shielded from direct light.
Storage: refrigerated 2–8°C after reconstitution. Do not freeze.
What the literature
describes.
Accelerated wound healing
Skin tone, elasticity, texture
Reduced oxidative stress
Hair follicle activation
What the literature
reports, by phase.
Week 1–2 — Enhanced skin hydration, improved scalp circulation, calming of reactive skin.
Week 3–6 — Texture and tone begin to even. Early fine-line softening. Reported reduction in oxidative markers.
Week 6–12 — Collagen-dependent changes consolidate — firmness, scar modulation, follicle density.
Long-term — Sustained skin resilience after cycling. Retention of density and tone through the off-phase.
Reference profile.
Baseline
Standard- Injection siteSubcutaneous · abdomen, thigh, upper arm
- RotationQuadrant cycle, avoid repeat sites
- TimingAny time of day
Advanced
Agressive- Injection siteSubcutaneous · abdomen, thigh, upper arm
- RotationQuadrant cycle, avoid repeat sites
- TimingAny time of day
Recommended cycle
Three months on. One month off. Repeat up to three cycles annually.
Skin and follicle responses accumulate gradually — the gains registered during a cycle hold through the off-phase when collagen and elastin synthesis settle into the new baseline.

Copper bond. Gene signal.
GHK-Cu binds copper ions and shuttles them to tissue where it modulates gene expression toward repair. Fibroblast activity increases, collagen and elastin synthesis rises, and antioxidant pathways are enhanced.
Clinical literature describes up-regulation across a broad subset of the human genome — shifting cellular behaviour from inflammation toward regeneration.
- Copper bondDelivers copper ions to tissue as a co-factor for enzymes in collagen, elastin, and antioxidant pathways.
- Gene expressionShifts fibroblast and keratinocyte activity toward repair and renewal.
- Antioxidant defenceEnhances SOD and other antioxidant enzymes; reduces oxidative stress.
- AngiogenesisSupports capillary formation in healing tissue and scalp.
