The same study found copper peptide GHK-Cu to be non-toxic and non-irritating
AOD-9604 is the more-studied stabilized version Compound Human Growth Hormone (somatropin) Class Full-length recombinant hGH FDA Status FDA-approved for specific indications (GH deficiency, certain growth disorders, AIDS wasting) Evidence Strength Strong human evidence for approved indications
Semi-synthetic nootropics, such as vinpocetine and huperzine-A , greatly vary in their legality from country to country
The peptide is already suspended in a vehicletypically a water-based serum with humectants (hyaluronic acid, glycerin), preservatives (phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate), and pH buffers
With vitamin C , the concern applies mainly to pure L-ascorbic acid, which is used at a low, acidic pH
