Research and educational use only — not medical advice, and not for human consumption. The figures below are summarized from public sources, product labeling, and community reports, and are not a prescription or a substitute for a qualified clinician.
Dosing guide
| Level | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Typical serum strength | 0.1 % | 0.01–0.1% in leave-in products |
Timing & cycling
Applied to clean scalp (its main use) or skin; evening application is typical. Leave-in — no rinse.
Cycle length. Hair studies of copper-peptide analogues run 12+ weeks; judge nothing before 3 months.
Storage & handling
Keep topical peptide serums cool and out of direct light; many are best refrigerated to preserve activity. Follow the individual product's shelf life once opened.
Key points
- Marketed for hair follicles the way GHK-Cu is for skin; the two are cousins and often blended.
- No reason to inject this — every use case is topical.
What to monitor
Monthly photos of the same spot under the same light — hair change is invisible day-to-day.
Legal & prescription status
No prescription needed for the cosmetic form — it is an over-the-counter skincare/haircare ingredient found in serums and creams.
