Tag: Systemic · Anti-aging

## Mechanism
An oral formulation of the GHK-Cu tripeptide designed for systemic absorption. Research suggests the same copper-complex gene-modulating activity as topical forms, potentially supporting systemic tissue repair, immune modulation, and antioxidant capacity.

## Research areas
- Systemic tissue repair and regeneration
- Immune modulation and inflammation
- Lung and gut tissue health
- Age-related gene expression restoration

## Common research protocols
- Oral capsule research: Investigational oral dosing for systemic regenerative endpoints.

## Study summaries
- "Oral GHK-Cu absorption and systemic effects" — BioMed Research International (2021): Detected in plasma after oral administration with modulated inflammatory biomarkers.

## Considerations
- Oral bioavailability is lower than injectable; optimal dosing unclear.
- Not FDA-approved for therapeutic use.
