Description

GHK-Cu – Copper Peptide for Regeneration & Anti-Aging Research

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and tissues. It plays a critical role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and cellular regeneration through its ability to regulate gene expression, promote collagen synthesis, and modulate inflammation.

GHK-Cu is widely used in anti-aging, dermatological, and regenerative biology research, showing strong potential in improving skin elasticity, hair growth, and cellular vitality.

Key Features & Research Applications

✨ Collagen & Elastin Synthesis:
Stimulates fibroblast activity and upregulates genes responsible for collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production.

🩹 Wound Healing & Tissue Repair:
Accelerates epithelial repair, angiogenesis, and remodeling of extracellular matrix.

💪 Anti-Aging & Skin Health:
Reduces fine lines and photoaging markers; promotes dermal firmness and elasticity in research models.

🧬 Hair Growth Studies:
Encourages follicle regeneration and prolongs the hair growth (anagen) phase.

🧫 Cellular Regeneration & Anti-Inflammatory Activity:
Regulates inflammatory cytokines and supports cellular protection against oxidative stress.
