The GHK-Cu paper on PubMed, what it actually says about tissue repair

There's a proper review on PubMed that walks through what GHK-Cu actually does in tissue, not just the skincare marketing spin. It covers the gene expression stuff, wound healing data, and the early work on skin penetration. Worth a read if you're running it for an actual joint or tendon and not just chasing skin benefits.

What stood out to me is how much of the hard data is still in skin and cosmetic contexts. The deeper tissue claims get thinner fast, which tbh matches what I've seen in my own recovery, helpful but not magic. The interesting bit for me was the part about transdermal absorption and whether topical dosing can really get enough to a tendon or joint. That part's still pretty hand-wavy.

Anyone running GHK-Cu alongside BPC or TB-500 finding the topical actually does anything for deeper tissue, or is it more useful as an add-on for skin and scar quality during a cut?
