GHK-Cu – 100 mg and 50 mg

GHK-Cu (100 mg)

Part 1: How to Mix (Reconstitute 100mg vial)

• Add 3 mL (300 units) of bacteriostatic water to your 100 mg GHK-Cu vial.
• Slowly push the needle into the powder vial. Aim the needle at the glass wall and press the plunger slowly so the water trickles down.
• Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial in circles until the liquid is completely clear. Do not shake it like a cocktail shaker, as rough shaking can damage the peptide. (Note: GHK-Cu will turn a distinct royal blue color once dissolved).
• Store: Put the mixed vial straight into the refrigerator. It must stay cold.

Part 2: Dosing & Schedule

• Dose 5 units (5-unit mark on a standard syringe) 5 days a week. Here is exactly how much peptide you get in that single 5-unit dose:
  • GHK-Cu: 1.7 mg (1,700 mcg)
• The Cycle: Run this schedule for anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks, followed by a mandatory 4 weeks off before starting your next cycle.

Part 3: How Long It Lasts

• Total Liquid: 3.0 mL = 300 units total.
• Your Dose: 5 units out of 300 units means you are taking exactly 1.7% of the vial per dose.
• Vial Lifespan: This setup gives you approximately 58 total doses per 100 mg vial.
• 1 Vial lasts 11.6 weeks when following a schedule of 5 days a week (meaning a single vial will comfortably cover almost an entire maximum 12-week cycle).

GHK-Cu (50 mg)

Part 1: How to Mix (Reconstitute 50mg vial)

• Add 2 mL (200 units) of bacteriostatic water to your 50 mg GHK-Cu vial.
• Slowly push the needle into the powder vial. Aim the needle at the glass wall and press the plunger slowly so the water trickles down.
• Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial in circles until the liquid is completely clear. Do not shake it like a cocktail shaker, as rough shaking can damage the peptide. (Note: GHK-Cu will turn a distinct royal blue color once dissolved).
• Store: Put the mixed vial straight into the refrigerator. It must stay cold.

Part 2: Dosing & Schedule

• Dose 7 units (just under the 7-unit mark on a standard syringe) 5 days a week. Here is exactly how much peptide you get in that single 7-unit dose:
  • GHK-Cu: 1.7 mg (1,700 mcg)
• The Cycle: Run this schedule for anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks, followed by a mandatory 4 weeks off before starting your next cycle.

Part 3: How Long It Lasts

• Total Liquid: 2.0 mL = 200 units total.
• Your Dose: 7 units out of 200 units means you are taking exactly 3.4% of the vial per dose.
• Vial Lifespan: This setup gives you approximately 29 total doses per 50 mg vial.
• 1 Vial lasts 5.8 weeks when following a schedule of 5 days a week.

1. Systemic & Oral Supplements

• Zinc: Whenever you supplement or use copper-increasing compounds over the long term, monitoring your copper-to-zinc ratio is essential. A balanced intake of zinc helps maintain optimal mineral equilibrium in the body.
• Vitamin C (Oral): While topical Vitamin C can destabilize copper peptides if mixed directly due to conflicting pH levels, oral Vitamin C is a critical cofactor for collagen synthesis, amplifying the tissue-remodeling properties of GHK-Cu.
• Collagen Peptides: Providing the structural building blocks (amino acids like proline and glycine) gives GHK-Cu the raw materials it needs to build new, healthy extracellular matrix and skin tissue.

2. Topical & Injectable Synergies

If you are using GHK-Cu for localized skin rejuvenation or tissue recovery, these compounds dramatically enhance its performance:

Co-Administered Peptides

• BPC-157: For soft tissue recovery, injury healing, and joint support, layering GHK-Cu with BPC-157 creates a powerful dual-action protocol for systemic or localized repair.

Skincare & Barrier Support

• Hyaluronic Acid: GHK-Cu works best in highly hydrated environments. Hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin, optimizing the cellular environment for peptide signaling.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): This supports skin barrier function, calms redness, and works in tandem with GHK-Cu to improve skin texture without altering the necessary neutral pH.
• CoQ10 & Squalane: Lipids and antioxidants seal the skin barrier, locking in the peptide while protecting the newly forming collagen from oxidative stress.
