Saw a supplement brand selling oral GHK-Cu capsules with big 'anti-aging' claims. My understanding is tripeptides get destroyed in the stomach and this is basically charging $60 for expensive copper. Am I wrong?

You're right. Oral tripeptides are almost entirely hydrolyzed in the gut. Any copper that survives is just copper. You can get that from beef liver for $2.

If it could be taken orally it'd be a drug, not a $60 bottle of capsules with a website that won't tell you what the active dose is.
