Claim verdict
Skin & hair
“GHK-Cu injections give you the same benefits as the skincare studies.”
This verdict applies to the exact claim above. It is not a verdict on the compound overall, a safety guarantee, or a recommendation to use it.
Registry verdict
Unsupported — topical evidence does not transfer to systemic dosing.
Why this verdict
- The human evidence is for topical cosmetic formulations with local skin endpoints.
- Injecting a copper-carrying peptide is a fundamentally different exposure with different risks, including copper balance.
- No controlled human trials support systemic injectable use.
