Is GHK-Cu safe?
It has been a cosmetic ingredient for a long time and is allowed in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. So its use on the skin has a long safety history. This site's review found no study in people of GHK-Cu shots. So there is less direct safety data in people for shots than for its long-standing use on the skin.
