I INJECTED GHK-CU

 
 

I injected GHK-Cu after breaking three ribs.
 
I was in pain and willing to consider anything that might help.
 
I spoke to trusted clinicians and compared notes with others who had recovered from injuries.

I tried the usual modalities. Then I read the data.
 
GHK-Cu (“copper peptide”) has effects on bone and tissue repair, collagen, wound healing, and tissue remodeling. (As well as neurologic and anti-cancer effects, among others.) 
 
But for cosmetic use, the strongest data is on topical use: texture, fine lines, and repair over time, with some data on microneedling.
 
For my fellow nerds: PMID 26236730, 29986520, 22666519, 39963574, 25690343.
 
So no, this is not “do as I say, not as I do.”
 
It’s the difference between a personal, medically informed decision after an acute injury and a broad recommendation for skin optimization.
 
Would you try copper peptide?
