GHK-Cu Dosage and Protocols
GHK-Cu dosage protocols reported in published research, plus reconstitution and storage.
Research Protocol Doses Reported in Published Literature
Research Disclaimer: Doses reported below are from published preclinical research protocols. GHK-Cu is not approved for human use by the FDA or any regulatory agency. This information is provided for research reference only and does not constitute a dosing recommendation. All doses above are reported from published research protocols using laboratory subjects. Refer to the cited studies in the Research Studies section above for original source data.
Reported protocol doses
Reconstitution
A 50mg vial with 5mL of bacteriostatic water is the pairing reported most often. 50mg vial + 5mL bacteriostatic water = 10mg/mL. A 1mg dose is 0.1mL (10 units). Solution is characteristically blue from the copper.
Work out your own concentration with the reconstitution calculator.
Doses shown are those reported in published research, not a recommendation.
