About GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a complex of the tripeptide GHK with a copper(II) ion, first isolated from human plasma. Its concentration in plasma declines markedly with age, which prompted decades of research into its role in tissue remodeling, collagen synthesis, and gene expression.
In vitro and preclinical studies have examined GHK-Cu across dermal fibroblast activity, extracellular matrix production, and antioxidant enzyme systems. It is supplied as a lyophilized copper-peptide complex with lot-specific analysis available.
