GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring tripeptide (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper that is found in human plasma.

It is widely studied for its regenerative and protective effects on skin and tissues. GHK-Cu acts as a signaling peptide that promotes collagen and elastin production, supports wound healing, modulates inflammation, and exhibits strong antioxidant and anti-aging properties by stimulating tissue remodeling and repair processes.

Key Research Areas:

  • Skin regeneration, collagen synthesis, and anti-aging
  • Wound healing and tissue repair
  • Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
  • Hair growth and follicle health
  • Extracellular matrix remodeling and scar reduction
