❌ For Research Use Only
For laboratory research only. Not for human consumption.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide complex consisting of the peptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine chelated to a copper (II) ion, found endogenously in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed pharmaceutical-grade glass vial. Intended for in-vitro and laboratory research applications only.
Mechanism of Action
GHK-Cu exerts its effects through multiple converging biological pathways, acting as a potent modulator of gene expression by influencing over 4,000 human genes in research models. It has been shown to stimulate collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, promote angiogenesis via VEGF upregulation, and exhibit significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity through superoxide dismutase induction. Its copper-chelating properties facilitate wound healing and tissue remodeling, while its documented influence on TGF-β signaling and stem cell activation makes it a subject of interest in skin biology, wound repair, hair follicle research, and systemic anti-aging investigation.
