Evidence gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Safety caps applied after weighting.

This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

Why this scored this way

This LVLUP Health GHK-Cu scores 4.0, making it among the lowest-scoring products we track. It delivers 5mg of GHK-Cu, inside the studied range of 1–10mg with grade D evidence (very early-stage, mostly animal models). The quality transparency (4.5) is limited by the lack of third-party testing. At $4.50/day it's among the more expensive options in Peptide.

What drives the score up

  • Community score of 8.8 with positive consumer feedback.

What drags it down

  • Dose-evidence score of 3.0 is below average for the site.
  • No third-party testing, which caps the quality transparency.
  • Quality transparency of 4.5 is below the site average.
  • At $4.50/day it's on the expensive side.

Why you'd choose it

  • You want a peptide product from LVLUP Health.

Why you might skip it

  • You want third-party verified purity.
  • You want a product with a publicly available CoA.
  • You want a cheaper option (this is $4.50/day).
