GHK / Epi / MOTS-c Blend Three-Layer Protocol
A triple-peptide stack combining dermal copper, pineal longevity peptide, and mitochondrial-encoded MOTS-c.

This triple blend layers GHK-Cu (dermal matrix and copper-driven wound healing), Epithalon (pineal-derived longevity peptide), and MOTS-c — a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-encoded peptide discovered by the Lee lab at USC.1 Together they address the surface, the cellular-age signal, and the energetic substrate of aesthetic aging in one subcutaneous injection.
MOTS-c is unique: encoded in mitochondrial (not nuclear) DNA, it exerts metabolic regulation via AMPK activation, insulin-sensitivity improvements, and exercise-mimetic gene programs.2
At Luxbae, GHK / Epi / MOTS-c Blend is prescribed and supervised by Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, MD, PhD after a complimentary medical consultation.
Mechanism — Three peptides, three layers
GHK on dermal matrix; Epithalon on telomerase and pineal signaling; MOTS-c on AMPK and mitochondrial fitness.1
What the research shows
Comprehensive coverage. Surface (GHK) plus cellular age (Epithalon) plus mitochondrial (MOTS-c) in one dose.
Metabolic layer. MOTS-c’s AMPK activation and insulin-sensitivity effects add a metabolic component.2
Aesthetic-longevity bridge. Aesthetic clientele layer this for cumulative cellular support around Morpheus8 or CO2.
Side effects: Mild injection-site reactions, vivid dreams from Epithalon, transient warmth from MOTS-c.
FDA note: None of the components is FDA-approved as a compounded blend. Prescribed under physician supervision.
GHK / Epi / MOTS-c Blend FAQ
How is this different from GHK / Epithalon?
Adds MOTS-c — you get the mitochondrial-metabolic layer.
Is each component diluted in a blend?
Each peptide is dosed at protocol-effective levels within the blend.
