Notes
GHK-Cu is the star of this protocol. It modulates over 4,000 human genes and shifts their expression toward patterns seen in younger tissue. Topical application targets skin directly. SubQ injection provides systemic benefits for hair follicles and overall tissue quality. Pair with: collagen peptides (15-20g daily, taken with 500mg vitamin C for absorption), biotin (5,000mcg daily), and omega-3 fatty acids. For hair specifically, GHK-Cu can be applied topically to the scalp or used with microneedling (0.5mm derma roller weekly). Protect skin with daily SPF 30+ sunscreen. Results are gradual; expect visible improvement at 6-8 weeks.
