While safe for most adults seeking anti-aging and regenerative support, GHK-Cu may not be suitable for everyone
Enzyme assay-produced 6-geranylapigenin 1 H NMR (DMSO- d 6 , 600 MHz): H = 13.20 (1H, s ), 7.90 (2H, d , J = 8.8 Hz), 6.92 (2H, d , J = 8.8 Hz), 6.74 (1H, s ), 6.51 (1H, s ), 5.18 (1H, t , J = 7.3, 1.2 Hz), 5.03 (1H, tt , J = 7.0, 1.2 Hz), 3.22 (2H, d , J = 7.3 Hz), 2.00 (2H, m ), 1.91 (2H, m ), 1.73 (3H, s ), 1.58 (3H, s ), 1.52 (3H, s )
Rather than acting like a conventional pharmaceutical drug, GHK-Cu appears to function more like a biological signaling molecule
Clinical trials have demonstrated a 65 percent reduction in vertebral fracture risk and a 35 to 53 percent reduction in non-vertebral fracture risk after 20 months of treatment at 20 micrograms per day
These findings challenge the widespread belief that more is better when it comes to supplementation and highlight the importance of proper dosing [47]
