  • Concentrations above 5 mg/mL risk incomplete dissolution and peptide aggregation. GHK-Cu's copper chelation makes it more prone to precipitation at high concentrations than uncharged peptides like BPC-157. Concentrations below 1 mg/mL waste bacteriostatic water and require larger injection volumes that increase subcutaneous bolus size, which can affect local bioavailability in tissue repair models.
