GHK-Cu.copper tripeptide — skin, hair, collagen
Three mechanisms. One molecule.
GHK-Cu is the copper-tripeptide complex that drives every credible "peptide skincare" claim. Collagen synthesis, hair follicle activity, hyaluronic-acid signaling — three mechanisms with three decades of dermatology literature underneath them.
Collagen synthesis
GHK-Cu upregulates type I and type III collagen, stimulating fibroblasts to rebuild the dermal matrix.
Hair follicle activity
Activates dermal papilla cells and prolongs anagen — the published mechanism behind copper peptide hair claims.
Antioxidant signaling
Suppresses inflammatory and oxidative pathways at the dermal level — the visible-skin part most users notice first.

This is the published Phase 2 escalation pattern, not a dosing recommendation. Adjust under qualified guidance based on tolerability and research goals. Open the dosing calculator below to convert mg to units.
Reconstituted at 1mg/mL, applied AM/PM after cleanser. Most cosmetic-research protocols.
Twice-weekly SC for systemic-skin protocols. Lower doses than recovery peptides.
Stack subq with topical for skin, hair, and connective-tissue protocols.

Every Element MD box ships with everything needed to reconstitute and run the protocol. We don't fragment the workflow into upsells — the kit is the kit.

Every review below is tied to a verified order. We pull starting weight, current week, and dose so you can see the protocol behind each result, not just a star rating.
Was running GHK + BPC separately. The pre-blend cleaned up my schedule and the outcomes hold.
Twelve weeks in. The synergy is real and the convenience matters.
Tested with my own contract lab — ratios consistent across two reorders. That is real QC.
Element MD is the one whose batch consistency I have not had to question. Reorder is automated and the COA on top of every box matches the database.
