GHK (without copper)
Also known as: Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine, Liver Cell Growth Factor
The base tripeptide that can chelate copper. When copper-free, still shows gene-resetting properties, resetting ~4,000 genes toward a healthier expression pattern.
Mechanism of Action
Broad gene regulation: upregulates collagen, anti-cancer genes, and antioxidant systems while suppressing inflammatory and metastasis-related genes. Resets gene expression toward youthful patterns.
Dosing Protocol
Topical: 1-2% formulation daily. Injectable: 100-200 mcg subcutaneous.
Open peptide calculatorReconstitution
Various formulations. 5mg vial + 2mL BAC water for injectable.
Storage
Lyophilized: -20°C. Solutions: 2-8°C.
