Do GHK-Cu capsules work the same as injectable or topical GHK-Cu?

This is a real concern with oral peptides generally: digestion breaks most peptide bonds before a compound like GHK-Cu could be absorbed intact, which is why its established research and cosmetic use is topical, applied to skin, not swallowed. No human trial in this site's review has tested an oral GHK-Cu capsule's absorption or effect, so a capsule form is working from a different, unproven premise than the topical products with actual research behind them.
