GHK-CU

GHK-Cu is a copper complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide GHK (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine). It was first identified in human plasma and is known for its strong affinity for copper ions, forming the compound commonly referred to as Copper Peptide.

GHK-Cu has gained significant attention for its role in supporting skin integrity, tissue maintenance, and cellular regeneration pathways. It is widely studied for its involvement in collagen production and overall structural support functions.

Key Characteristics

• Copper-binding tripeptide (GHK + Copper ion)

• Associated with collagen and elastin support

• Linked to skin firmness and elasticity

• Studied for hair and scalp support

• Known for regenerative and cellular signaling properties

How GHK-Cu Works

GHK-Cu interacts with multiple biological pathways and is associated with:

• Supporting collagen synthesis

• Promoting elastin production

• Encouraging tissue remodeling processes

• Supporting antioxidant activity

• Contributing to overall skin and hair vitality

Copper plays an essential role in enzymatic reactions that help maintain structural proteins in the body, and GHK functions as a carrier peptide that delivers copper where it is needed.
