Make my question list

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK is a peptide—a short chain built from the same blocks as proteins.

GHK-Cu is that chain attached to copper.

GHK also occurs in human blood, saliva and urine. [a]

Does finding a skin cream answer the injection question?

No—the FDA treats injected GHK-Cu separately from forms used without an injection.

A finding about a cream does not establish a benefit from a shot. [c]
