GHK-Cu is on FDA's 503A bulk-substances list (nominated for compounding, withdrawn by the nominator).

Compounded injectable drugs containing GHK-Cu may pose risk for immunogenicity due to the potential for aggregation and peptide-related impurities. There are limited data in humans to inform safety-related considerations.
