Peer-reviewed studies demonstrate that GHK-Cu can: Stimulate fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis Increase glycosaminoglycan production Support wound contraction and remodeling Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation A major review published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences describes GHK-Cu as a compound that resets gene expression to a healthier state, influencing over 4,000 human genes involved in tissue repair and anti-inflammatory processes
It also drives cell migration and collagen production, repairing tendons, ligaments, muscles, and even nerve tissue damaged by Lyme-related arthritis or coinfections like Bartonella and Babesia
The formulation is mixed until a uniform suspension is achieved
Functional medicine providers may use peptide therapy for leaky gut (intestinal hyperpermeability), IBS, IBD-related symptoms, gastritis or ulcer recovery, post-antibiotic dysbiosis, and chronic GI inflammation

Their review argued that the original sequence determination was performed once and not re-verified by modern methods, and that endogenous DSIP-like immunoreactivity in mammalian tissue may reflect related peptides rather than the synthetic nonapeptide as drawn (Kovalzon & Strekalova, 2006)
