Description

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide composed of three amino acids: glycine, histidine, and lysine, complexed with copper ions. It is widely studied in dermatology and regenerative science for its potential role in supporting skin health, tissue repair, and cellular regeneration.

Commonly found in small amounts in human plasma and saliva, GHK-Cu is believed to help stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and support wound healing processes. Because of these properties, it is frequently used in cosmetic formulations aimed at reducing the appearance of fine lines, improving skin texture, and promoting a more youthful complexion.

In research settings, GHK-Cu has also been explored for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as its possible role in gene expression related to tissue remodeling.

Note: GHK-Cu is primarily used in cosmetic and research contexts and is not classified as a medication for treating diseases.
