⚠️ AHK-Cu is intended for TOPICAL use, not injection!!! Injecting it is not recommended.⚠️
🔸 What AHK-Cu actually is:
AHK-Cu is a copper peptide (Alanine-Histidine-Lysine bound to copper).
✅ It is best known for:
Skin regeneration
Collagen and elastin synthesis
Wound healing
Hair follicle support
Anti-inflammatory effects in the skin
👉🏼 Its evidence base and safety data are overwhelmingly TOPICAL.
❓ Can AHK-Cu be injected?
🚫 No — it should not be injected
⚠️ There are no clinical protocols supporting:
Subcutaneous injection
Intramuscular injection
Systemic use
⚠️ And there are real risks if injected:
Copper imbalance
Local tissue irritation or necrosis
Immune reactions
Unknown systemic distribution
No established dosing or safety margins
⚠️ People who inject it are experimenting without data, not following a researched protocol.
🔸 Why you see people talking about injecting copper peptides❓
👉🏼 This is where confusion comes from:
GHK-Cu ≠ AHK-Cu
✅ GHK-Cu can be injected.
🚫 AHK-Cu specifically has NO injectable research support.
⚠️ THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
✅ Proper use of AHK-Cu (what actually works)
➡ Topical only
