GHK-CU
Contact Us →GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1, Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide complex. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on skin health, wound healing, and anti-aging.
Studies have shown that GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, promotes angiogenesis, and modulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to remodel extracellular matrix. It also exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties by reducing oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines. It may also play a role in hair follicle growth stimulation, skin barrier repair, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and protection against UV-induced damage.
Key Research Areas:
-
Collagen and elastin synthesis stimulation
-
Wound healing and tissue regeneration
-
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) regulation and ECM remodeling
-
Hair growth and dermal papilla cell activation
-
Antioxidant defense and skin barrier repair
