About This GHK-Cu Dossier
A provenance file on the copper-tripeptide literature, read with a buyer's skepticism, with every number chained back to the study it came from.
What this project is
Legit GHK-Cu keeps a provenance file on the peer-reviewed literature covering GHK-Cu, the copper tripeptide — each published finding logged beside the exact paper it came from. No clinic runs here: nobody on this masthead prescribes, diagnoses, or answers a health question, and nothing on these pages is medical guidance. Nothing is made, stocked, or shipped from this address either. The whole activity is narrower than any of that — read the science, then show the receipt for every claim.
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.
