GHK-Cu prescription,
coming soon.
Injectable GHK-Cu delivers the copper tripeptide past the skin barrier — into tendons, joints, and systemic circulation. Physician-supervised prescriptions expected when FDA finalizes Category 1 reclassification in 2026.

What topical serums can't deliver.
Topical GHK-Cu is limited to the epidermis. Injectable GHK-Cu peptide therapy reaches tendons, joints, deep dermis, and systemic circulation.
Deep tissue repair
GHK-Cu injection delivers the copper tripeptide subcutaneously to the dermis, fascia, and connective tissue at pharmacological concentrations. Topical application plateaus at approximately 2% — the stratum corneum is a barrier that injection bypasses entirely.
Systemic collagen signaling
Injectable GHK-Cu upregulates type I and type III collagen synthesis systemically — not just under the patch of skin where a serum was applied. The Pickart-discovered pathway operates body-wide via subcutaneous injection.
Clinical-grade purity
Prescription GHK-Cu is compounded by licensed 503A and 503B pharmacies under USP 797 sterile standards. Certificate of analysis per batch. Pharmaceutical-grade, not cosmetic.
The honest comparison.
Topical GHK-Cu is available now over the counter. Injectable requires a prescription and is pending FDA reclassification.
