How to use this ledger

Every bracketed number in the digest resolves to one entry below. The list includes primary studies and peer-reviewed reviews across GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and GLOW constituent literature. A source may support a mechanism, a model-specific result, or an evidence limitation; its presence is not a blanket endorsement. The useful check is what was studied, in which model, with which material, and against which outcome. That discipline is especially important when a topical ingredient, an unapproved systemic peptide, and a non-standardized blend share one repair theme.
