GHK-Cu — Full Research Breakdown
Tailored information for researchers. All content is for in-vitro / preclinical research context only — not medical advice.
Mechanism of Action
Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper(II). Activates fibroblasts, increases collagen and elastin synthesis, modulates inflammatory cytokines.
How It Helps
Targets skin elasticity, wound healing, hair follicle activation, and anti-aging markers. Decades of dermatology literature.
Half-Life
Plasma minutes; tissue/scalp effects sustained days.
Onset of Effects
Skin/hair shifts typically 4–8 weeks.
Administration
Subcutaneous, intradermal (research microneedling), or topical formulations.
Storage
Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated 30 days, protect from light.
Reconstitution Guide
50 mg + 3 mL BAC → ~16.7 mg/mL.
