What's a typical injectable dose of GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (the copper-bound healing peptide) is most often injected at 1-2 mg once daily under the skin. Some clinics start lower at 0.5 mg to test tolerance before stepping up. The timing of day does not appear to matter much for skin or systemic effects, but most users pick mornings or evenings and stay consistent. Inject into fatty tissue on the belly, thigh, or near the area you want to heal. Bring the vial to room temp before injecting so the cold sting is gone.

• Most reported injectable doses fall in the 0.5-2 mg per day range
• Some protocols use 5 days on, 2 days off to give the body a break from the copper load
• GHK-Cu is naturally found in human plasma; total body copper is about 80-100 mg, so 1-2 mg daily is well below toxic territory
• Subcutaneous absorption is slow and steady; bioavailability is much higher than oral
• GHK-Cu is not approved in the US as an injectable drug; the strong evidence base is for topical cosmetic use
