GHK-Cu
Peptide Therapy in Pasadena
What Is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide made of three amino acids and is being studied for its potential role in skin repair, collagen support, and cellular renewal. By binding to copper, it may influence processes related to antioxidant protection and wound-healing pathways.
Many patients explore GHK-Cu as part of a non-surgical, wellness-focused approach to skin and tissue health.
At Alpha Hormones® in Pasadena, our licensed providers offer educational consultations to help you understand what current research shows, what remains unproven, and how peptides like GHK-Cu may fit into a personalized, science-informed wellness plan.
Why GHK-Cu Is Gaining Attention?
GHK-Cu has become a focal point in regenerative and aesthetic medicine for its potential to support skin rejuvenation and tissue integrity.
Areas of active research include:
- Skin renewal and repair: Research suggests GHK-Cu may promote collagen and elastin production, supporting healthy skin texture.
- Antioxidant activity: It may help reduce oxidative stress and maintain cellular balance.
- Wound healing: Preclinical data shows potential for promoting natural repair responses following injury.
While early research is encouraging, GHK-Cu is not FDA-approved for medical treatment, and its use remains investigational.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. GHK-Cu is not approved by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It is offered as part of wellness and educational consultations only.
GHK-Cu binds copper ions, which may influence skin and tissue repair, making it unique among non-hormonal peptides.
Common forms include topical creams/serums, subcutaneous injections, or oral capsules. The method depends on individual goals and provider guidance.
Mild and temporary side effects—such as skin redness, minor irritation, or fatigue—may occur. Providers review all risks before starting.
In some wellness settings, GHK-Cu is combined with other peptides that have complementary mechanisms of action. However, not all combinations are appropriate for every individual. Compatibility depends on a person’s goals, health status, and delivery method. A licensed medical provider should review potential interactions and dosing strategies before combining peptides.
Many people explore GHK-Cu for goals related to skin quality, visible aging, wound support, or general tissue health. These applications are based on emerging research, not medical claims.
In some cases, yes. However, combination strategies should be discussed with a qualified provider to avoid interactions or overuse.
We source exclusively from reputable U.S. manufacturers that produce research-grade peptides under GMP-aligned quality systems.
These suppliers undergo independent testing for identity, purity, and consistency to ensure the highest possible quality for investigational and educational use.
We do not use unverified overseas suppliers, gray-market vendors, or research peptides sold through unregulated websites.
Your appointment begins with a licensed medical provider reviewing your health history, lifestyle factors, and goals. You’ll receive education on the current science, regulatory status, and known limitations of peptides like BPC-157, allowing you to make an informed decision.
Individuals who may be interested in GHK-Cu are those seeking non-surgical, wellness-oriented approaches to support skin quality, visible aging, or general tissue health. Ideal candidates are typically:
Adults interested in proactive skin and regenerative wellness support
Individuals without active infections, uncontrolled medical conditions, or known peptide sensitivities
Patients who understand that GHK-Cu is investigational and not FDA-approved for medical treatment
Those willing to consult with a licensed provider for personalized guidance
A consultation with a qualified clinician is recommended to determine whether GHK-Cu aligns with a patient’s goals, medical history, and overall wellness plan.
Most insurance plans do not cover GHK-Cu because it is an investigational peptide, not FDA-approved for diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease. However, your consultation might be covered if we accept your insurance.
Yes. In most cases, patients can use FSA or HSA funds for medically supervised peptide consultations and peptide prescriptions, as long as they are ordered by a licensed medical provider and documented as part of a treatment plan.
Because GHK-Cu is not FDA-approved and not covered by insurance, payment is typically out-of-pocket — however, FSA/HSA cards are commonly accepted for provider visits, prescription ordering, and lab testing associated with peptide care.
