What actually differs
The clearest difference is class: GHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide, MOTS-c is a Mitochondrial-derived peptide. They are not supplied the same way. GHK-Cu comes as a lyophilised powder. Takes on a characteristic blue tint in solution from the copper complex, MOTS-c as a lyophilised powder or pre-filled pen. Half-life differs as well: Short systemically for GHK-Cu against Short for MOTS-c.
