🔴 IMPORTANT: Read Before Proceeding With Dosing
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-copper) — also known as copper tripeptide — is a naturally occurring human peptide found in plasma, saliva, and urine.
It is widely regarded as one of the most powerful anti-aging & regenerative peptides, with effects spanning skin, connective tissue, nerves, lungs, liver, gut, & bone tissue.
GHK-Cu supports:
- Collagen & elastin synthesis
- Skin repair & hair restoration
- Wound healing & tissue regeneration
- Anti-inflammatory & antioxidant activity
- DNA repair & cellular renewal
In injectable form, GHK-Cu is favored for systemic healing and anti-aging support, while topical use targets skin quality, hair growth, scars, and pigmentation.
✨ Benefits
Boosts collagen + elastin production
- Thickens aging skin; outperforms many prescription retinoids
- Reduces wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, UV damage
- Strong anti-inflammatory & antioxidant activity
- Stimulates hair growth; increases follicle size & strength
- Repairs DNA damage & clears dysfunctional proteins
- Promotes angiogenesis → better blood flow to tissues
- Accelerates wound healing & counters cortisone-delayed healing
- Supports nerve regeneration & gut health
- Can reverse COPD-related fibroblast damage
- Neurotrophic effects: increases growth factors in the nervous system
- Reduces anxiety, pain signaling & inflammation-related pain
⚠️ Possible Side Effects
| Route | Side Effects |
|---|---|
| Topical | None reported |
| Injectable | Redness, swelling, itching, bruising, histamine flare-up (raised welts or “knot” under skin lasting days) |
Note: Injection discomfort varies by user — some feel nothing, others experience strong stinging due to copper ion sensitivity.
⚠️ Signs of Copper Toxicity (rare — usually from excessive systemic copper, not GHK-Cu itself)
- Headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain
- Yellowing of skin/eyes (jaundice)
- Anxiety, irritability, confusion, depression
- Brown rings around eyes (Kayser–Fleischer rings — advanced sign)In severe cases: liver, kidney, heart, or neurological complications
If toxicity is suspected → discontinue immediately & seek medical care.
💧 Reconstitution — GHK-Cu (Injectable)
Both vial sizes use the same dilution for consistent unit conversion.
| Vial Size | BAC Water | Final Volume | Concentration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mg | 3 mL (300 units) | 3 mL | 1 mg = 6 units |
| 100 mg | 3 mL (300 units) | 3 mL | 1 mg = 3 units |
Higher concentrated vials = smaller inject volume per mg, but may sting more.
🧮 Unit Conversion — Quick Reference
50 mg vial (3 mL) → 1 mg = 6 units
| Dose | Units |
|---|---|
| 1 mg | 6 units |
| 2 mg | 12 units |
| 3 mg | 18 units |
| 5 mg | 30 units |
100 mg vial (3 mL) → 1 mg = 3 units
| Dose | Units |
|---|---|
| 1 mg | 3 units |
| 2 mg | 6 units |
| 3 mg | 9 units |
| 5 mg | 15 units |
Rule:
If you want less injection burn, draw your dose → add 30–90 units BAC water to syringe to dilute before injecting.
💉 Dosing Protocol — Systemic Injectable Use
| Cycle | Duration | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 4–6 weeks | Daily |
| Washout | 4–6 weeks | — |
Recommended Dosing
Start low → increase when benefits stall, not sooner.
- 1–2 mg daily, 7 days/week (most common range)
- Users often remain below 3 mg/day with great effect
Tip: More is not better — higher doses may increase injection reactions without increasing benefit.
🧭 Titration Guide (either vial)
| Weeks | Dose | 50 mg Units | 100 mg Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | 1 mg/day | 6u | 3u |
| 3–4 | 2 mg/day | 12u | 6u |
| 5–6 | 2–3 mg/day (if needed) | 12–18u | 6–9u |
➡️ If skin tightening & inflammation stabilize → maintain dose rather than increasing.
🔥 If Injection Pain or Reactions Occur
These strategies directly reduce flare-ups:
✔ Rotate injection sites every dose
✔ Dilute dose in syringe with 30–90 units BAC water
✔ Warm vial in hands 15–30 seconds before drawing
✔ Switch to topical use if reactions persist
✔ Consider GLOW/KLOW blends (GHK-Cu + BPC-157 reduces pain)
🧴 Topical Usage Option
If injectables are not tolerated:
- Mix remaining vial into 0.5–1 oz moisturizing cream or gel
- Apply under a second moisturizer for deeper penetration
- Best combined with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, copper-safe ingredients
