Vial: 100 mg

GHK-Cu (100 mg Vial)

GHK-Cu dosage protocols utilize this naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) to support skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and tissue repair. GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin production, promotes angiogenesis, and delivers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Human studies demonstrate improved skin thickness, reduced wrinkles, and enhanced dermal density with GHK-Cu application. This educational protocol presents a once-daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin-syringe measurements.

Dose
1–3 mg per injection
Frequency
Once daily or every other day
Timing
Evening preferred
Duration
8–12 weeks

Copper peptide. Promotes collagen synthesis and wound healing. Anti-inflammatory effects.
