“The Copper Signal”
Naturally occurring in your own body, but levels drop sharply with age. Signals collagen and elastin production, the peptide most associated with visible skin and wound-healing effects.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide that declines with age. It signals fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, the basis for its long-documented role in skin repair and wound healing.
It's not approved as a drug, but it has a long, well-documented history as a cosmetic ingredient and has been studied since the 1970s, giving it more established research than most peptides on this list.
Topical use has a long safety track record in cosmetic research. Injectable use is far less studied and carries different risk considerations.
Mostly skin repair, wound healing, and anti-aging research, both topically and in some injectable contexts.
GHK-Cu has one of the longest research histories in this entire library, dating back to its discovery in human plasma in 1973. Decades of cosmetic and dermatological research give it a stronger evidence base than almost anything else here, though injectable use specifically is much less studied than topical use.
