GHK-CU
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide complex composed of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK) bound to copper (Cu²⁺). GHK is naturally present in human plasma and other biological fluids, with its levels generally declining with age.
GHK-Cu has been extensively studied for its involvement in tissue remodeling, wound healing, collagen synthesis, antioxidant activity, and cellular signaling. Its ability to transport and regulate copper also contributes to the activity of copper-dependent enzymes involved in connective tissue formation and cellular repair.
Key Benefits
• Skin Repair & Rejuvenation – Supports cellular processes involved in skin renewal, wound healing, and tissue remodeling.
• Collagen & Elastin Support – Promotes pathways associated with collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix production.
• Hair & Follicle Support – Research for its effects on hair follicle activity, growth, and scalp health
• Antioxidant Activity – Helps regulate oxidative stress and supports cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms.
• Anti-Inflammatory Activity – Studied for its ability to modulate inflammatory signaling associated with tissue damage and repair.
