GHK-Cu for more than just skin repair

This article talks about a clinical trial where GHK-Cu increased collagen density in the skin. It also mentions the researcher's claims about system wide repairs in lungs, liver, and connective tissues.

Tbh it feels like everyone treats this as just a beauty peptide now. I am more interested in the connective tissue part. My experience with recovery has been hit or miss, and I wonder if the collagen claims actually translate to tendon strength or if it is just surface level stuff. Some of these claims seem a bit overhyped, but the systemic repair angle is interesting.

Do any of you actually use this for joint or tendon issues, or is it mostly just for skin and hair? I am curious if it actually helps with deep tissue repair or if it is a waste of time compared to something like BPC.
