GHK-Cu reconstitution calculator.
Copper-binding tripeptide for skin, hair, and recovery. A 100 mg vial in 2 mL bacteriostatic water gives 50 mg/mL — most people inject 2.5–10 mg per dose.
★GHK-Cu dose ranges between 1 mg to 10 mg (1–10 mg/day)
Draw the plunger to 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
That’s 0.100 mL of solution, or 5 mg of peptide.
Reconstituting GHK-Cu, step by step.
- 1Draw 2 mL of bacteriostatic water into a 3 mL syringe.
- 2Tilt the GHK-Cu vial 45° and inject the water slowly down the inside wall — not directly onto the powder.
- 3Swirl gently until the deep blue solution is fully clear. Do not shake.
- 4Refrigerate and use within 30 days.
GHK-Cu questions, answered.
How much BAC water do I use for a 100 mg GHK-Cu vial?+
2 mL is the standard ratio. That gives you 50 mg/mL — every 10 units (0.1 mL) on a U-100 syringe is 5 mg, the typical daily dose.
Why is my GHK-Cu blue?+
The copper(II) ion bound to the tripeptide colors the solution deep blue. A pale or colorless mix usually means the powder hasn't fully dissolved — keep swirling. If the color is off out of the gate, you likely received something that isn't GHK-Cu.
Subcutaneous, intramuscular, or topical for GHK-Cu?+
Subq into abdominal fat is the most common route. For hair-loss protocols some people inject directly into the scalp. Topical creams work but the dose-to-effect math is unreliable — injection gives you a known number.
