GHK-cu (50 mg)
Copper-binding tripeptide for regenerative and cosmetic research
Research use only
GHK-cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of the sequence Gly-His-Lys complexed with copper (II). It is widely studied for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Preclinical and cosmetic research highlights its ability to stimulate collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, enhance skin elasticity, accelerate wound healing, and promote hair growth. GHK-cu also exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, making it a versatile compound for skin biology, tissue regeneration, and anti-aging studies.
