Substance Overview and History

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide, known for its ability to bind copper and promote skin repair. Found in human plasma and released during tissue injury, GHK-Cu aids in collagen synthesis, reduces wrinkles, improves elasticity, and enhances skin clarity. Its actions include modulating genes related to tissue healing, as discovered through genetic studies. Additionally, it helps protect skin from UV damage, supports nerve outgrowth, and promotes hair thickness. With age, its levels decline, leading to decreased regenerative capabilities​.
