Is GHK-Cu Safe? Creams vs Shots
Pending medical review
Short answer: GHK-Cu is common in skin creams. Shots of GHK-Cu are not FDA approved, and the FDA says there is only a little safety data in people for shots.
What is it?
A tiny peptide joined to copper. "Cu" means copper.
Shots
The FDA put GHK-Cu shots on a list of things that may be risky when pharmacies mix them. It says the peptide could clump, and clumps may make your body fight it.
Creams
That FDA list is about shots, not skin creams.
