  • Full nameGlycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex
  • Research areasSkin remodeling, collagen-related pathways, inflammation, and tissue repair.

  • HandlingUse only product-specific preparation and storage instructions supplied by a qualified source.

Example reconstitution math

A 50 mg vial with 3 mL of diluent produces a concentration of approximately 16.667 mg/mL. At that concentration, 0.5 mg occupies 0.03 mL, or 3 units on a U-100 syringe.

This is a mathematical example taken from the supplied reference material, not a recommended preparation or dose. Adjust the calculator to match the actual vial and instructions.

Suggested dosing context

The supplied research reference presents a broad suggested range of 0.5-10 mg per administration. It notes that many protocols begin at 0.5-2 mg and adjust based on response.

  • FrequencySuggested research schedules range from 3-5 times per week to daily; the accompanying notes also reference 3-7 times per week.
  • AdministrationSubcutaneous administration, with abdomen, thigh, or back of the upper arm listed as example sites.
  • TimingUse a consistent time of day when following a defined research protocol.
  • DurationThe supplied material describes short- or long-term use based on research goals rather than one fixed cycle.
  • Storage noteThe supplied reference suggests refrigeration at 2-8 C after reconstitution, protection from direct light, and discarding after 28-30 days or sooner if cloudy. Product-specific instructions take priority.
Suggested, not prescribed. These ranges come from the user-supplied research reference and are not a standardized clinical injection schedule.

Suggested research combinations

The supplied reference lists KPV, BPC-157, TB-500, GLOW Blend, NAD+, SS-31, and topical copper-peptide serum. Topical use is listed separately.

Important notes from the supplied sheet

  • GHK-Cu is described as a naturally occurring copper tripeptide studied for skin health, wound healing, collagen production, hair growth, and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Typical researched range listed: 0.5-10 mg per administration, 3-7 times per week.
  • Many users begin at 0.5-2 mg and adjust based on response.
  • Short- or long-term use is listed based on research goals.
  • Use the same day and time when possible.
  • Store refrigerated at 2-8 C; discard 28-30 days after reconstitution or sooner if cloudy.
