# About GHK-Cu Script: Independent Research Digest > GHK-Cu Script is an independent editorial publisher summarizing peer-reviewed research on GHK-Cu copper peptide. Not a clinic, not a vendor. Editorial commentary on publicly available science. ## What GHK-Cu Script Is GHK-Cu Script is an independent editorial project that publishes summaries of the peer-reviewed research literature on GHK-Cu — the copper tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. The site organizes 50 years of published findings into an instrument-grade reading surface: a study ledger on /research, research-context dose data on /dosage, a documented benefits index on /benefits, and a full citation list on /references. We are not a clinic. We do not employ clinicians and we do not provide medical advice. We do not manufacture, sell, or distribute any product. Our work is editorial commentary on publicly available science. The compound class is research peptide. GHK-Cu is recognized as a cosmetic ingredient (INCI: Copper Tripeptide-1) in topical formulations. It is not FDA-approved for any therapeutic indication. No Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trials for systemic administration in humans have been completed and published. This site documents what has been studied in the published literature; it does not advise on use, dose, or administration. ## The 'Script' Framing The domain name ghkcuscript.com uses 'script' deliberately. In the published literature, GHK-Cu behaves less like a single-target drug and more like a control script executed across a wide gene-expression surface — modulating approximately 31.2% of human genes at nanomolar concentrations.[2] The site is built in that register: an instrument panel reading the evidence, not a vendor page promoting a compound. The design aesthetic — Linear Precision Dark — is a developer-dashboard surface. The study ledger on /research renders findings like a commit log or issue tracker. The compound is complex; the reading environment is precise. ## What This Site Does Not Do GHK-Cu Script does not recommend doses, protocols, or regimens for any person. It does not provide medical, clinical, or nutritional advice. It does not represent or imply that any product is safe or effective for human use. The domain modifier 'script' is editorial framing — it describes a reading of the literature as an executed program, not a clinical prescription. No healthcare professional is employed by or associated with this publication. Nothing on this site constitutes a recommendation to administer any compound. ## How Citations Work on This Site Every quantitative claim is cited inline using numbered references ([1], [2], …) that resolve to the full citation on /references. Citations are drawn exclusively from peer-reviewed publications indexed in PubMed, PMC, or DOI-registered journals. This site does not cite vendor documents, forum posts, or non-peer-reviewed materials as evidence. ## References [2] Pickart L, Margolina A.
