GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide studied for skin repair and tissue remodeling, mostly in preclinical work. Prescription-only, clinician-supervised at Meto.
Quick Facts
The mechanism, in plain language.
GHK-Cu activates ~4,000 human genes associated with tissue repair and extracellular matrix remodelling. It accelerates collagen, elastin and proteoglycan synthesis; reduces inflammation; and supports copper homeostasis in aging tissues.

Peptide Readiness Panel
The labs that pick your protocol.
IGF-1 sets your GH-axis baseline. hs-CRP flags inflammation that changes which peptides we'd choose. HbA1c and fasting insulin decide whether the muscle-preservation stack is safe for you. Drawn at a partner lab near you, or finger-prick kit to your door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Injection vs. topical?
Topical is effective for skin-specific goals. Injection reaches systemic tissues (connective, pulmonary, vascular). Many members use both: topical daily, SQ in cycles.
