BodyPharm GHK-Cu
Product Description
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide widely studied for its regenerative and protective properties, particularly in skin, hair, and connective tissue health. GHK-Cu 50 is a research-grade peptide presented in a convenient multi-dose subcutaneous injection pen, enabling precise administration in 1mg, 2mg, or 3mg increments.
Each pen contains a total of 50mg of GHK-Cu peptide in a stable solution format. This formulation is designed for ease of use, consistency, and convenience in controlled research settings.
Indications & Use
GHK-Cu has been observed in research to:
Support skin regeneration, elasticity, and collagen synthesis
Enhance hair growth and reduce follicular inflammation
Improve nail strength and resilience
Exhibit anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties
Promote overall tissue repair and cellular renewal
Mechanism of Action
GHK-Cu functions by binding copper ions and modulating several biological processes. It is known to:
Upregulate genes associated with tissue repair, collagen production, and anti-aging
Downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers
Stimulate stem cell activity and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
Activate TGF-β and integrin pathways, contributing to faster healing and skin renewal
Its ability to communicate with multiple cell types and influence gene expression sets it apart from other peptides in the regenerative and cosmetic research fields.
Dosage & Administration
Each pen contains 50mg of GHK-Cu in total and is dispensed in:
1mg, 2mg, or 3mg increments
Subcutaneous injection (typically in the abdomen or thigh area)
Dosing frequency varies depending on research protocol, but is often used daily or every other day
Always use sterile technique. Replace the needle after each use. Dosage should align with your specific research goals.
Storage & Stability
Store between 2–8°C (36–46°F)
Protect from direct sunlight
Keep out of reach of children
Do not freeze
Once opened, use within 30 days
Possible Side Effects
GHK-Cu is generally well-tolerated in research settings. Potential side effects observed in limited studies include:
Local irritation at injection site (redness, itching, swelling)
Temporary fatigue or lightheadedness
Allergic reaction (rare)
Copper overload symptoms if used in excessive doses or combined with other copper-containing agents
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to copper compounds or peptides
Existing copper metabolism disorders (e.g., Wilson’s disease)
Use with caution in subjects with liver or kidney impairment
