GHK-Cu

Description

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is a naturally occurring copper-tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine that acts as a potent regenerative and protective signal. It stimulates collagen synthesis, wound healing, and tissue remodeling while reducing inflammation. Its levels decline significantly with age, leading to its common use in anti-aging, skin care, and hair growth products.

Key Aspects of GHK-Cu:
•    Mechanism: As a “carrier peptide,” it delivers copper to tissues, which is essential for collagen and elastin production.
•    Regenerative Action: It enhances tissue repair in skin, hair follicles, and even gastrointestinal and bone tissues.
•    Aging & Skin: Often used to reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and reduce photodamage.
•    Hair Growth: Known to improve hair density and strengthen roots.
•    Anti-inflammatory/Antioxidant: It acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, decreasing inflammation and acting as a protective antioxidant.
