Copper tripeptide complex · Also known as Copper peptide, "the glow peptide"
A naturally occurring copper peptide complex that declines with age. Studied for skin rejuvenation, wound healing, hair growth, and anti-aging effects.
GHK-Cu is a tripeptide with high affinity for copper. It's found naturally in human blood plasma, saliva, and urine, but levels decline significantly with age. Research suggests it can activate genes involved in tissue remodeling and repair.
GHK-Cu delivers copper to cells, which is essential for many enzymatic processes including collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and wound repair. It activates genes responsible for tissue remodeling while suppressing genes linked to inflammation and tissue destruction. This dual action makes it effective for both repair and prevention of age-related decline.
