BUY GHK cu peptide dosage

 

GHK cu peptide dosage is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. First isolated in 1973 by Dr. Loren Pickart, it has a high affinity for copper(II) ions, forming the GHK-Cu complex. Plasma levels decline with age, from 200 ng/mL at age 20 to 80 ng/mL by age 60, correlating with reduced regenerative capacity. It’s widely studied for its regenerative and anti-aging properties.

 

ghk-cu peptide benefits

 

Mechanisms of Action
GHK-Cu stimulates collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in fibroblasts, promoting tissue repair. It enhances angiogenesis (blood vessel growth), nerve outgrowth, and antioxidant enzyme activity while reducing inflammation. It modulates gene expression, upregulating genes for tissue remodeling and downregulating inflammatory pathways, such as TGF-β in COPD models. Its copper-binding structure (log 10 stability constant 16.44) involves nitrogen from histidine, glycine, and lysine’s carboxyl group, forming a square-planar pyramid configuration.

Skin Rejuvenation: Increases collagen, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin elasticity and thickness. Clinical studies show it outperforms vitamin C and retinoic acid in photoaged skin.

 

Wound Healing: Accelerates healing of skin, hair follicles, and gastrointestinal tissues in animal models.

Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines like IL-6.

Dosage and Administration
Topical creams (2–10% concentration) are applied daily to face, neck, or scalp. Injectable doses range from 0.5–2.5 mg/day subcutaneously, often 7 days/week for 8 weeks, followed by a 4–8-week break. Oral supplements (120 mcg/day) are less common. Consult a healthcare provider for dosing.

Safety and Side Effects
GHK-Cu is non-toxic and non-irritating in studies, though injection site reactions (pain, bruising) may occur. Long-term human data is limited; not FDA-approved.
