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
