Units are shown for a U-100 insulin syringe. A common starting dose is 1 mg. At 16.67 mg/mL, that draws to 6 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How GHK-Cu works

Acts as a copper carrier that activates tissue remodeling pathways. The peptide-copper complex stimulates fibroblasts and collagen deposition while reducing pro-inflammatory signaling.
