GHK-Cu is a natural peptide found in human blood plasma, urine, and saliva, known for its role in wound healing, immune function, and skin health. It stimulates collagen production, fibroblast activity, and blood vessel growth, aiding in tissue repair. Additionally, GHK-Cu acts as an antioxidant, suppressing free-radical damage and serving as a feedback signal after tissue injury. These properties make it valuable in both skincare and therapeutic applications.
GHK-Cu (Copper) is a copper peptide complex that consists of a tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) and a copper ion. It is naturally occurring in the human body and has been studied for its various biological and therapeutic effects, particularly in skin and tissue repair.
One of the key applications of GHK-Cu is in skin repair and anti-aging. It promotes the production of collagen and elastin, essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, making it a popular ingredient in anti-aging skincare products. (1) Additionally, GHK-Cu accelerates wound healing by enhancing the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and reducing inflammation, and it possesses antimicrobial properties that support the healing process. (2)
GHK-Cu also exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which help reduce oxidative stress and protect tissues from damage. There is evidence suggesting that GHK-Cu can stimulate hair growth by increasing the size of hair follicles and decreasing hair loss. (1) Beyond its cosmetic applications, GHK-Cu is being explored for its potential therapeutic uses in treating conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and for its possible neuroprotective effects. Overall, GHK-Cu is a versatile compound with promising applications in skin care, wound healing, and other therapeutic areas. (3)
