GHK-Cu – 50 mg | For Research Use Only – Not for Human Consumption
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:Cu²⁺) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide complex identified in human plasma, saliva, and urine, with a well-documented role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and skin regeneration. It functions as a molecular signaling agent involved in cellular repair processes and has been extensively studied in preclinical models for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and trophic effects.
Mechanistic Overview
GHK-Cu is known to upregulate genes associated with collagen synthesis, extracellular matrix formation, and angiogenesis, while simultaneously downregulating genes involved in inflammation and tissue degradation. Mechanistically, it has been shown to:
-
Stimulate fibroblast proliferation and collagen type I and III expression
-
Enhance vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, promoting angiogenesis
-
Increase production of glycosaminoglycans and decorin (important for dermal structure)
-
Bind free copper ions, supporting antioxidant defense and reducing oxidative damage
-
Act as a homeostatic feedback signal in response to tissue injury
Research Applications
GHK-Cu is widely studied in experimental models for its role in:
-
Dermal regeneration and cosmetic skin biology
-
Wound repair and post-surgical healing processes
-
Oxidative stress mitigation and free-radical scavenging
-
Anti-aging research and restoration of skin elasticity
-
Immune modulation and anti-inflammatory response pathways
The peptide’s ability to modulate gene expression and cellular repair functions makes it a valuable tool in translational research targeting regenerative medicine, aesthetics, and inflammatory skin conditions.
