Some peptide protocols involve consistent dosing, while others are used for specific time periods depending on treatment goals
In one mouse study, researchers found that the peptide reduced the pain felt by the animals in their paws when placed on a mildly hot plate. The authors explained that this could be because GHK is similar in structure to cimetidine, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist sometimes given to reduce pain in certain digestive conditions
