GHK-cu

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide found in plasma, saliva, and urine. It plays a role in tissue repair by promoting collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, supporting wound healing, and modulating inflammation. GHK-Cu is widely studied for its regenerative and skin-rejuvenating properties, including improving elasticity, reducing fine lines, and aiding hair growth. It also exhibits antioxidant effects and may support overall cellular repair processes.

• Skin Regeneration: Widely known as a "glow peptide," it reduces lines, wrinkles, and improves skin density by stimulating dermal fibroblast proliferation.

• Tissue Repair: Promotes faster healing of wounds, burns, and reduces inflammation.

• Hair Growth: Studies suggest it can improve hair regrowth and scalp health.

• Anti-Aging: Studies found it can outperform vitamin C and retinoic acid in collagen production and skin tightening.
