GHK-Cu

Copper-GHK Tripeptide Complex

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide complex composed of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK) bound to copper ions. Originally discovered in human plasma and wound healing processes, this bioactive peptide demonstrates remarkable regenerative properties through its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, enhance angiogenesis, and modulate antioxidant enzyme activity. GHK-Cu is extensively researched for its anti-aging applications in skin health, wound healing, and hair growth, with over 30 years of clinical studies supporting its safety and efficacy.
