GHK-Cu
Copper peptide
Thin — topical/aesthetic, limited research
Based on expert consensus from publicly available videos plus public FDA/regulatory status — not medical advice. Peptides are prescription territory; consult a physician before using anything here.
The Verdict
The copper peptide trending in skincare. There's a real signal for topical skin/collagen support, but the deeper therapeutic claims are thin and one-source in our corpus.
The Evidence
FDA / Legal Status
Not an FDA-approved drug; used in cosmetic/skincare contexts
Human Evidence
Discussed for skin/collagen and wound healing (Bakri via Huberman); aesthetic interest exceeds the therapeutic research
Sport / Doping
N/A (topical)
Safety Flags
- Evidence is largely aesthetic/research-grade, not RCT
- Formulation quality varies widely
