GHK-Cu
Copper peptide that stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, attracts immune cells for tissue repair, and has potent anti-aging effects on skin gene expression and remodeling.
Route: Subcutaneous injection
Reconstitution: 3.0 mL sterile water → 16.67 mg/mL concentration
Dose Range: 1–2 mg once daily (gradual titration over 12 weeks)
Cycle: 8–12 weeks typical; may extend to 16 weeks

Melanotan 2
Melanocortin receptor agonist that stimulates melanogenesis (skin pigmentation). Researched for UV-free tanning, skin protection, and as a photoprotective agent.
Route: Subcutaneous injection
Reconstitution: 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 3.33 mg/mL concentration
Dose Range: 250–1000 mcg once daily (gradual titration over 8–12 weeks)
Cycle: 6–8 weeks for initial tanning, then switch to maintenance dosing
Schedule: Week 1: 250 mcg → Week 2: 500 mcg → Week 3: 750 mcg → Weeks 4–8: 1000 mcg
