Can I take GHK-Cu alongside my other treatments?

Your clinician reviews GHK-Cu alongside your current medications and history before prescribing, so everything is considered together. Always tell your provider about every treatment you are on.

What kind of results should I expect, and how soon?

Skin turnover is slow, so this is not an overnight change. GHK-Cu is studied for its role in skin remodeling and repair, and results vary from person to person. Your clinician will help you set realistic expectations rather than promise a specific outcome.

Is GHK-Cu FDA approved?

Compounded GHK-Cu is not FDA approved. It is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and prescribed by a US-licensed clinician when clinically appropriate.

What if it is not right for me?

That is what the screening is for. If it is not a good fit, the clinician will say so rather than prescribe it. You are only charged if you are approved and start treatment.

So, what is GHK-Cu — and is it for you?

A copper peptide your body already makes to repair skin. Levels fall as you get older, and so does the signal telling your skin to rebuild.

A protein you already make

Occurs naturally in your body and helps signal skin repair. Levels fall as you get older.

For firmness, glow, and hair

Most people explore it for skin structure, tone, and hair as they get older.

Made for you by a US pharmacy

WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS

What is known, and what is not

Most of the peptide market blurs the line between biology, early research, and proven results. We would rather be clear with you.

WHAT WE KNOW

A real, well-studied peptide

GHK-Cu occurs naturally in the body and has been characterized for decades. It is widely used in topical skincare for its role in skin.

WHAT RESEARCH SUGGESTS

A role in skin and repair

Research has explored GHK-Cu's role in collagen, skin remodeling, and wound repair. Much of the strongest evidence to date is topical or from the lab.

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW YET

Injectable use is early

Compounded injectable GHK-Cu is not FDA approved. Long-term outcomes in humans are not established, and individual results vary. Your clinician will set realistic expectations.

The fine print
