The mucins are large complex proteins that are heavily covered by sugar molecules and that coat the gastric mucosal cells with a viscous, gel-like layer (also known as mucous)

However, as reassuring as all of this is, there are a couple of things to remain mindful of: Copper toxicity Because GHK-Cu contains copper, it does pose a potential risk of copper toxicity,12 the symptoms of which include abdominal pain, vomiting, chest pain, chills, cough, fever, general weakness, anemia, burning sensations, tremors, and a metallic taste in the mouth.13 The risk is small, as the concentrations of copper in the peptide are typically well within safe parameters, but its good to be aware of it

The degradation rate and half-life (t1/2) of the drugs were determined by measuring the decrease in area under the curve (AUC) at their retention times [2]
