  • Simultaneous Dosing (Same Injection)
  • Hour 0
  • Low. CTR1 saturation limits both peptides
  • Minimal. Neither peptide reaches optimal signaling threshold
  • Not recommended. Receptor competition negates individual effects
  • Split Dosing (3-Hour Gap)
  • Hour 3
  • Moderate. Partial overlap in plasma concentration
  • Partial. GHK-Cu pathway interrupted before peak activity
  • Suboptimal. Insufficient separation for independent signaling
  • Staggered Dosing (6–8 Hour Gap)
  • Hour 6–8
  • High. Sequential receptor saturation with no overlap
  • Strong. Collagen synthesis phase completes before anti-inflammatory phase begins
  • Recommended. Allows each peptide to act independently at full potency
  • Reverse Order (AHK-Cu First)
  • Moderate. No transport competition but signaling interference
  • Weak. Early NF-κB inhibition suppresses GHK-Cu's inflammatory repair cue
  • Not recommended. Anti-inflammatory signal disrupts collagen pathway initiation
