GHK-CU 100MG/3ML Vial
GHK-Cu, short for glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-copper, is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma. First identified in the 1970s by Dr. Loren Pickart during studies on liver regeneration and wound healing, GHK-Cu has since been recognized for its regenerative, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
How GHK-cu works
GHK-Cu promotes the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans—key components of the skin’s extracellular matrix. These molecules are vital for:
→ Skin firmness → Elasticity → Structural support
As we age, collagen production declines, leading to wrinkles and skin thinning. GHK-Cu helps reverse this process by enhancing gene expression involved in matrix regeneration and suppressing matrix-degrading enzymes like MMPs.
