- Conservative Protocol
- 0.5–0.8mg
- 3×/week
- Low (1.5–2.4mg Cu²⁺)
- 8–12% increase in anagen-phase follicles
- Optimal for sensitive scalps or first-time users. Minimizes oxidative risk while maintaining receptor saturation
- Standard Protocol
- 1.0–1.5mg
- 3–4×/week
- Moderate (3.0–6.0mg Cu²⁺)
- 12–18% increase in anagen-phase follicles
- Best balance of efficacy and safety for most users. Matches receptor density without exceeding clearance capacity
- Aggressive Protocol
- 2.0–3.0mg
- Daily (7×/week)
- High (14–21mg Cu²⁺)
- 10–15% increase (no significant improvement over Standard)
- Higher oxidative load with no measurable benefit. Increased irritation risk outweighs negligible efficacy gain
- Research-Grade Protocol (Real Peptides formulation)
- 1.2mg in buffered vehicle
- 4×/week
- Controlled (4.8mg Cu²⁺)
- 15–20% increase in anagen-phase follicles
- Optimized for receptor pharmacology. Vehicle pH and purity control maximize bioavailability while preventing copper accumulation
