This is GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) – pre-filled pen (50 mg), commonly used for skin, hair, and tissue repair.
Here’s a clear breakdown 👇
🔹 What GHK-Cu Does
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide with strong regenerative and anti-aging effects:
✅ Improves skin elasticity & firmness
✅ Reduces wrinkles & fine lines
✅ Boosts collagen & elastin production
✅ Accelerates wound healing
✅ Improves hair growth & scalp health
✅ Anti-inflammatory & antioxidant effects
✅ Helps with scar repair and skin texture
🔹 How It’s Commonly Used (Injection Protocol)
Typical dose (injectable):
1–2 mg daily
Or 2–3 mg every second day
Duration:
4–8 weeks per cycle
Can be repeated after a short break
Injection:
Subcutaneous (belly fat, thigh)

🔹 Click Guide (general)
Most GHK-Cu pens are calibrated similarly to peptide pens:
1 click ≈ 0.1 mg (varies by brand – confirm if needed)
Example:
10 clicks = 1 mg
20 clicks = 2 mg
If you want, tell me the pen click chart or brand insert and I’ll calculate it exactly for you.
🔹 Topical vs Injectable
Injectable → systemic anti-aging, healing, hair growth
Topical (serums/creams) → skin quality only
👉 Injectable is much more powerful
🔹 Side Effects (Usually Mild)
Slight redness at injection site
Temporary skin sensitivity
Rare: headache if dose is too high
💡 Tip: Do not mega-dose – more is NOT better with copper peptides.
🔹 Stacks Well With
BPC-157
TB-500
GH / MK-677
Skin protocols, post-procedure recovery
Additional Information
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide in the human body known for its anti-aging, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory properties, stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity, and aiding skin renewal. Found in plasma, GHK-Cu is used in topical cosmetics, serums, and foams for skin rejuvenation and hair therapies, though subcutaneous injections are also a method of administration.Â
Benefits of GHK-Cu
Skin Health & Anti-Aging: GHK-Cu stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and other key proteins that improve skin firmness, reduce wrinkles, and tighten loose skin.Â
Wound Healing: It accelerates the healing of skin wounds and promotes tissue regeneration by stimulating cell growth.Â
Anti-Inflammatory: GHK-Cu has antioxidant effects, protects skin cells from UV radiation, and reduces inflammation.Â
Hair Growth: It can be used in hair growth therapies and has been shown to stimulate hair regrowth.Â
Cellular Activity: GHK-Cu increases the expression of genes involved in matrix regeneration and can restore the viability of fibroblasts (connective tissue cells).Â
How it's Used
