## What This Site Is

Clinic GHK-Cu is an independent editorial project that publishes summaries of the peer-reviewed research literature on GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1). We are not a clinic. We do not employ clinicians and we do not provide medical advice. We do not manufacture, sell, or distribute any product. Our work is editorial commentary on publicly available science.

The "clinic" in our name is a reading-room framing — the position we occupy relative to the literature, not a claim about services offered. Clinic GHK-Cu is a structured editorial digest of what the published research has measured, not a source of prescriptions, consultations, or treatment guidance. No content on this site should be interpreted as medical advice.

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) has been studied across five decades of peer-reviewed research beginning with Loren Pickart's 1973 isolation from human plasma. The literature spans collagen stimulation, gene expression, hair follicle biology, wound healing, and pharmacokinetics. This site documents that literature — every claim cited to its published source.

We do not recommend doses or administration routes for human use. We do not evaluate products, vendors, or formulations. We do not represent that any compound discussed here is approved, effective, or safe for human therapeutic use beyond what the cited literature states.

## Editorial Standards

Every quantitative claim on this site is accompanied by a citation to its published peer-reviewed source. We do not publish unverified findings, extrapolate beyond what the cited study states, or present in vitro or animal data as equivalent to human clinical outcomes.

Our citation requirements:

1. **Primary sources only** — We cite published peer-reviewed papers, not secondary summaries, press releases, or supplement marketing materials.
2. **Quantitative fidelity** — When we report a numerical finding (e.g., "+70% collagen in fibroblast cultures"), we verify it matches the cited source precisely.
3. **Context preservation** — We identify study type (in vitro, animal, human RCT), population, and concentration ranges alongside every finding, so readers can assess relevance.
4. **No extrapolation** — In vitro findings are not presented as equivalent to clinical outcomes. Animal model results are labeled as such.
5. **No commercial framing** — We have no financial relationship with any compound manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. Our editorial independence is not contingent on any commercial arrangement.

If you identify an error in any citation or quantitative claim, please use our contact page. We review and correct promptly.
