GHK-Cu and tanning

[derekmarc]

I’ve been talking GHK-Cu for over a month now and I love the affects it’s having on my skin in terms of blemishes. But is there a side effect of tanning or making skin darker? Is taking too much causing that?

Have not heard of that being a side affect.

GHK-Cu dosage protocols utilize this naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) to support skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and tissue repair[1][2]. GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin production, promotes angiogenesis, and delivers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits

Are you sure?

Are you taking Zn to balance your Cu? I found GHK-Cu turned me yellow/tanned to the point where my partner commented that I look jaundiced, without even my inquiry.

So, I lowered my dose and started taking Zn a few hours later in the day. Although, what I should've done was run a serum Cu test.

What was your GHK-Cu dosage protocol and how long had you been running it at that point?

Titrated to 2mg. Saw no difference in skin after 4 weeks, still on it today 5 months later. Partner made comment around 3-4 months. Will cease once vial is empty.

I tan extremely easily ever since I started taking peptides. I can go outside for 5-10min and get noticeably darker. This only started happening after I started taking peptides several years ago. Even after taking a break for few years I still tan easily. I primarily took ghkcu, bpc and TB. I did experiment with some others as well.
