GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide studied for skin and connective tissue research applications. Patients can request a telehealth evaluation through the TelosRX Telehealth Portal.

What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a copper peptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to copper. It is studied in preclinical research for skin and wound healing pathways.

GHK-Cu is not an FDA-approved drug. It is available through compounding pharmacies under valid prescription.

Common Discussion Points

Patients often raise GHK-Cu during evaluations for:

  • Skin appearance and texture research
  • Connective tissue support discussion
  • Wound healing research interest
  • Hair follicle research applications

A licensed provider determines clinical appropriateness individually.

Pre-PCAC July 2026 Regulatory Context

GHK-Cu is among the peptides under PCAC review ahead of the July 2026 meeting. Patients interested in compounded access should consult a licensed provider promptly.
