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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, GHK-Cu 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-Cu.

    An ionic liquid microemulsion improved local delivery of GHK‑Cu about three-fold while the peptide kept its biological function.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, a new microemulsion carried about three times more copper peptide into the skin, and the peptide kept its function.
