GHK-Cu

Research Only

Copper Tripeptide-1

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide that complexes with copper ions to modulate numerous biological processes. Research has demonstrated its involvement in wound healing through enhanced collagen and decorin gene expression, activation of tissue remodeling pathways, and regulation of genes associated with antioxidant defense and anti-inflammatory responses.
