Key Benefits

Skin Regeneration

Stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness and reducing wrinkles.

Wound Healing

Accelerates tissue repair and reduces scarring by promoting healthy cell regeneration.

Anti-Inflammatory

Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, protecting tissues from damage.

Hair Growth

May promote hair follicle health and support hair regrowth in some individuals.

How GHK-Cu Works

GHK-Cu is a tripeptide (three amino acids: glycine, histidine, and lysine) bound to a copper ion. It's naturally present in your body but declines significantly with age—by age 60, GHK-Cu levels drop to about 40% of what they were at age 20.

When administered, GHK-Cu works through multiple mechanisms:

  • Gene expression modulation: GHK-Cu can reset the expression of numerous genes to a healthier state, affecting tissue repair, immune function, and antioxidant responses.
  • Copper delivery: The peptide serves as a carrier for copper ions, which are essential for many enzymatic processes including collagen synthesis.
  • Growth factor stimulation: GHK-Cu stimulates the production of growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and wound healing.
  • Anti-inflammatory action: It modulates inflammatory responses, reducing chronic inflammation that contributes to aging and tissue damage.
