Mechanism
A hormone-free alternative.
GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide) is a naturally occurring peptide that has been studied for its ability to support signaling pathways involved in hair follicle growth and to support blood vessel formation around the follicle, without acting on DHT or hormone receptors.
Because it does not rely on minoxidil or an anti-androgen, it is positioned for patients who cannot tolerate those actives, who are trying to conceive, or who simply prefer a non-hormonal approach.
As with other topicals, consistency matters more than amount, and most patients are asked to commit to several months of daily use before judging results.

- Common side effects, include mild scalp irritation or redness at the application site.
- Evidence base, is smaller than for minoxidil and finasteride; results vary more between patients.
