GHK-CU

GHK-CU (Copper) is a small tripeptide first noticed in human blood. Also known as a ‘metallopeptide’ due to the copper molecules attached to it. GHK levels have been shown to drop with age, leading to reduced healing, skin elasticity, immune system function, overall regeneration, antioxidant capacity and promotion of blood vessel growth.

Studies have suggested that the peptide exhibits potential in gene expression and may to reset elements of the genome. By this potential mechanism, GHK-CU peptide may restore impaired cells, including carcinogenic cells and COPD cells.

GHK-CU peptide has been researched for its potential across a variety of functions:

May tighten and reverse the thinning of aging dermis
May restore dermis protein barrier and moderate texture, hyperpigmentation and lesions
May support tissue repair and mitigate inflammation
May stimulate increasing hair follicle size
May exert antioxidant properties
May host gene restructuring potential
