GHK-Cu

About GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper(II) — a tripeptide your plasma produces naturally, until it doesn’t. Plasma levels fall from ~200 ng/mL in your 20s to ~80 ng/mL by your 60s. The literature tracks that decline against skin-repair capacity, hair-follicle regeneration, and wound-closure time. The mechanism that keeps it in the dermatology literature: GHK-Cu upregulates over 4,000 human genes, predominantly resetting them toward healthier, younger expression patterns. It stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, modulates matrix-metalloproteinase activity, and delivers copper intracellularly in a non-toxic form. IF the research endpoint involves tissue remodeling — wound, hair, or skin — THEN GHK-Cu is the peptide with the densest published evidence. SO it belongs in any dermatology or regenerative-research protocol where the question is how well and how quickly tissue reorganizes. Batch-verified ≥99% purity. CoA included.
