What is GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1)?
GHK-Cu is the copper peptide behind a lot of skin and hair products. The evidence for it is real, and most of it is for putting it on rather than injecting it.
Also sold as copper tripeptide-1, GHK copper or copper peptide.
GHK is a three amino acid sequence that binds copper and occurs naturally in blood, where levels fall steadily with age. Bound to copper it stimulates collagen production, promotes wound healing and appears to act on a wide set of genes involved in tissue repair. It is one of the better characterised peptides here.
GHK-Cu benefits
- Stimulates collagen production, with good evidence behind it
- Improves skin texture, firmness and the appearance of fine lines
- Supports wound healing and hair follicle activity
- Naturally occurring, with levels declining as you age
- Not androgenic, so nothing is suppressed and no post-cycle therapy applies
GHK-Cu dosage
- Systemic
- 1 to 2mg per day, subcutaneous
- Run length
- 30 days, then a break
- Topical use
- Applied to skin, which is where most evidence sits
- Per vial
- 50mg
- Storage
- Refrigerate once reconstituted
- Appearance
- Blue solution once mixed, which is the copper and is normal
Reconstituted GHK-Cu is bright blue. That is the copper and it is what the solution is supposed to look like.
Be clear about which use you are buying it for. The strong evidence for GHK-Cu is topical, in skin preparations. Injected systemic use is far less established, and the dosing that circulates for it is convention rather than trial data.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. The reconstitution guide covers the method and the dosage calculator works out how much water to add for the dose you want.

Who is GHK-Cu for?
People interested in skin quality, collagen and hair, which is where GHK-Cu has the most behind it. It is one of the few peptides here bought for appearance rather than performance.
If you are looking at it for injury repair, BPC-157 and TB-500 are the compounds aimed at that.
How to use GHK-Cu
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and refrigerate once mixed. The solution turns blue, which is normal. Inject subcutaneously, or apply topically to the skin, for around 30 days then take a break.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the solution blue?
The copper. GHK binds a copper ion and that complex is blue, so a correctly reconstituted vial is bright blue rather than clear.
A clear solution would be the thing to question, not a blue one.
Injected or applied to the skin?
Topical for skin and hair, which is where nearly all the good evidence sits. GHK-Cu is a well studied cosmetic ingredient and it works applied.
Injected for a systemic effect is a far less established use. If your goal is skin quality, applying it is both better supported and simpler.
Can I use it for hair loss?
There is reasonable evidence for GHK-Cu supporting follicle activity and it appears in hair preparations for that reason.
It is not a replacement for the established treatments if male pattern loss is what you are dealing with. Treat it as an addition rather than the answer.
Why only 30 days at a time?
Because of the copper. There is a theoretical concern about accumulation with prolonged high-dose use, and a month on with a break afterwards is the cautious approach that has become standard.
There is no trial establishing that limit. It is sensible caution rather than a tested protocol.
Does it need PCT?
No. GHK-Cu is not androgenic and has no effect on testosterone.
There is nothing for a SERM to do.
