About This GHK-Cu Dossier
An independent editorial project that reads the copper-tripeptide literature with a buyer's skepticism and ties every number to its source.
What this project is
Legit GHK-Cu is an independent editorial project that publishes summaries of the peer-reviewed research literature on GHK-Cu, the copper tripeptide. 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 premise is in the name. 'Legit' here is a method, not a marketing claim: we earn the word by attribution. Every quantitative statement on this site — a picomolar collagen onset, a 70%-versus-40% procollagen comparison, a +71.5 hair-count delta, a 31%-of-genome figure — is set against the original paper, with a PubMed or PMC link on the references page so a reader can check it. Where the literature is strong, we say so plainly. Where it is thin or unreplicated, we mark the gap rather than paper over it.
On the word in the domain, and our limits
This site occupies an editorial position relative to the GHK-Cu literature; it is not a healthcare provider. Any framing in the domain or headings is a stance a publisher takes toward the evidence, not a claim that the site offers treatment, consultation, prescription, or any clinical service.
We do not invent authorship — no fictional founder, no fictional clinical team, no physical clinic. The studies are real and externally verifiable; the editorial judgment is ours. Two limits we apply consistently: the GHK-Cu literature is predominantly preclinical and topical, so we never translate a research dose into a human-use instruction; and a large share of the foundational record originates from a single investigator and colleagues, so we flag where independent replication is limited. Read this dossier as a sourced, skeptical reading of the published science — and verify any claim against the GHK-Cu references and citations.
