The Glow Peptide Protocol combines BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits. This blend promotes collagen synthesis, improves wound healing, reduces inflammation, and helps regenerate tissue, potentially giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is blue because of the copper (Cu) ion bound to the GHK peptide. The blue color arises due to the way copper interacts with light when it forms a complex with certain molecules, in this case, the GHK peptide.

This blue hue is characteristic of copper peptides and does not affect their biological function. The blue color is a visual indicator of the presence of copper in the GHK-Cu molecule.

• Copper can exist in different oxidation states, but GHK-Cu contains copper in the +2 oxidation state (Cu²⁺).
• When copper (Cu²⁺) is bound to the GHK peptide, it forms a complex that absorbs light in a specific range of the visible spectrum. This causes the compound to appear blue, a common property of copper complexes.
• The blue color is particularly associated with the d-d electron transitions of copper ions when they are coordinated with certain ligands, like histidine (an amino acid in the GHK peptide). These transitions absorb light in the red and yellow regions of the spectrum, making the complex appear blue.

Wound Healing and Skin Repair: GHK-Cu promotes collagen production and assists in tissue remodeling, making it effective for healing wounds, reducing scars, and improving skin elasticity and firmness.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: It can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which contributes to healthier skin and overall healing.

Anti-Aging Effects: By stimulating collagen production and increasing skin’s structural proteins, GHK-Cu helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Hair Growth: GHK-Cu has been shown to stimulate hair growth by increasing hair follicle size and reducing hair thinning.

Antioxidant Properties: The peptide acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Tissue Regeneration: It assists in the regeneration of various tissues, including lungs and liver, due to its ability to modulate gene expression related to tissue repair.

GHK-Cu Copper can be injected subcutaneously (under the skin) for systemic benefits, such as improving tissue repair, reducing inflammation, or promoting overall skin health. This method is commonly used in medical settings.

GHK-Cu Copper is for research purposes only, unless prescribed by a licensed physician.

Blending GHK-Cu with BPC-157 can make the injection less painful. BPC-157 has anti-inflammatory and healing properties, which can help reduce irritation or discomfort that sometimes occurs with peptide injections. This combination helps improve tissue repair while minimizing any potential injection site pain or sensitivity.

While GHK-Cu is generally well-tolerated, some potential side effects include:

• Injection site reactions: Redness, itching, or mild discomfort at the injection site.
• Allergic reactions: Though rare, some may experience allergic responses such as swelling, rash, or hives.
• Temporary skin discoloration: In some cases, it may cause mild, temporary blue or green skin tint due to the copper content.
• Systemic effects: Rarely, it may lead to headaches, dizziness, or nausea.
