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?
