GHK-Cu

Copper-binding tripeptide for skin rejuvenation, hair health, and tissue repair

Overview

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-histidyl-lysine) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Its levels decline with age, coinciding with reduced regenerative capacity. GHK-Cu stimulates collagen production, accelerates wound healing, reduces inflammation, and improves skin elasticity and firmness. It also promotes hair follicle growth and has antimetastatic properties.
