Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine).
