| What the sources say | What PepLabo does with it |
|---|---|
| Most GHK-Cu products are applied to the skin [1]. | Nasal spray and topical forms skip the unit math; PepLabo records each use with the time and the amount you enter. |
| There is no approved injectable GHK-Cu medicine [3]. | PepLabo pre-fills nothing: the calculator has no default amount, and the use period after mixing stays empty until you enter it. |
