What is GHK-Cu?

(glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper)

GHK-Cu is a three-amino-acid peptide that binds copper and circulates naturally in your blood. It was first isolated from human plasma in 1973. It signals skin and connective-tissue cells to make collagen, elastin and the proteins that hold tissue together, and it helps recruit repair cells to damaged areas. Its level in plasma drops from about 200 ng/mL at age 20 to about 80 ng/mL by age 60.

Most human evidence is for topical GHK-Cu on skin; injectable GHK-Cu is prescribed off-label at your physician's discretion.

How skin and longevity peptides work

  1. Day 1

    A US-licensed physician reviews your goals and history and sets your dose and course. The kit includes everything you need.

  2. Week 1–2

    A small subcutaneous injection, daily or on the course your physician sets. Sleep and skin hydration are often the first things people notice.

  3. Month 1–2

    Collagen signaling takes weeks to show: skin texture and firmness, and recovery after training, tend to change next.

  4. Month 3–6

    Changes consolidate with consistent use. Your physician checks in, adjusts the dose and decides on the next course.

  5. Beyond

    Longevity is a long game: sleep, movement, nutrition and sun protection do most of the work. Peptides support them.

What the research says

The science of skin and longevity peptides

GHK-Cu stimulates collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin cells and improves wound repair; in topical studies it improved skin firmness, elasticity and fine lines.

Injectable GHK-Cu extends that signaling beyond the skin surface; that use rests on laboratory and clinical experience rather than large trials. Your physician explains the difference before prescribing.
