GHK-CU 50mg

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.
