- Wilson's Disease
- Absolute Contraindication
- DO NOT USE.
- The risk of acute copper toxicity is unacceptably high and potentially life-threatening. This is the clearest of all GHK-Cu contraindications.
- Active Cancer
- The theoretical risk of promoting tumor growth via angiogenesis and cell proliferation is too significant to ignore.
- Pregnancy
- The effects on fetal development are completely unknown, making any use unethical and dangerous.
- Autoimmune Disease
- Relative Precaution
- Proceed with extreme caution & expert oversight.
- The peptide's immunomodulatory effects are unpredictable in a dysfunctional immune system and could trigger a flare-up.
- Hypotension
- Monitor blood pressure closely; consider lower doses.
- The potential for vasodilation could exacerbate low blood pressure, leading to symptoms like dizziness or fainting.
- Using Impure Product
- Protocol Violation
- Source only from reputable, tested suppliers.
- Adverse effects from contaminants are often mistaken for inherent GHK-Cu contraindications, skewing safety data.
