GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1)

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide complex first identified in human plasma. It consists of the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys bound to a copper(II) ion. Widely studied for its regenerative and protective effects, GHK-Cu is associated with skin remodeling, tissue repair, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is often highlighted for its role in cosmetic and biomedical research applications.

Research Applications

GHK-Cu has shown promise in experimental studies relating to:

• Skin & Hair Health: Exploring stimulation of collagen synthesis, improved skin elasticity, and potential hair follicle regeneration.
• Wound Healing: Investigating enhanced tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and faster recovery post-injury.
• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Studying reduction in oxidative stress and inflammatory markers.
• Neuroprotection: Evaluating possible effects on nerve outgrowth, regeneration, and cognitive support.
• Aging Research: Investigating cellular protective mechanisms, DNA repair, and overall anti-aging pathways.
