GHK-Cu (Copper) Peptide

Scientific Overview and benefits
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) that binds copper and is released in plasma during injury. Its concentration decreases with age, dropping from around 200 ng/mL at 20 years to 80 ng/mL by 60 years.OverviewResearch suggests GHK-Cu influences gene expression and may support tissue repair, skin regeneration, and hair follicle growth. It exhibits potential antioxidant effects, may help restore damaged cells, and could contribute to extracellular matrix support, moderating skin texture, pigmentation, and inflammation. Additionally, its chelating properties allow it to bind copper and iron, possibly enhancing biological activity in cell cultures.

Research Insights

GHK-CU  main benefit 

GHK-Cu, or Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper, is a copper peptide that has garnered attention in skincare and health.

Here are some of its notable benefits:

Skin Repair and Regeneration: GHK-Cu is known for promoting wound healing and skin regeneration. It can help stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin elasticity and firmness.

Anti-Aging Properties: This peptide can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing skin hydration and promoting a more youthful complexion.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects: GHK-Cu has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. May act against lung inflammation via biochemical pathways influenced by oxidative stress and inflammatory markers.

Antioxidant Activity: It can help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, contributing to overall skin health. It may help neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals, with significant efficacy compared to other antioxidants.

Hair Growth Stimulation: Some studies suggest that GHK-Cu may promote hair growth and reduce hair loss by stimulating the hair follicles.

Improved Skin Tone: Regular use of GHK-Cu can lead to a more even skin tone and texture, enhancing the overall appearance of the skin.   Tissue Repair: Stimulates collagen synthesis and decorin production during injury; promotes faster healing in comparison to zinc oxide and laser therapy.
Gene Regulation: Modulates chromatin structure, enhancing DNA transcription and expression of genes involved in cellular repair and apoptosis pathways.
Metastasis Prevention: Reduces carcinogenic cell growth via caspase activation; promotes healthy fibroblast growth.
Behavioral Effects: Mitigates pain, reduces anxiety, and improves stress response in experimental models.
GHK-Cu’s diverse biological roles in tissue regeneration, oxidative stress mitigation, and anti-carcinogenic effects underline its importance in advancing peptide research.

    Skin looked smoother

    I started using GHK-Cu primarily for skin repair and elasticity, and I’ve been blown away by the results. Within two weeks, my skin looked smoother, more even-toned, and just healthier overall. I’ve even had friends ask what I’m doing differently. It’s now a permanent part of my skincare and recovery routine.

    Less inflammation

    I’ve been researching peptides for skin and hair support, and GHK-Cu kept coming up. After one month of consistent use, I’ve noticed faster healing on cuts, less inflammation, and my hair actually looks fuller. This is high-quality, clean stuff. Highly recommended.

    Fine lines reduces slightly

    I started using this for post-microneedling recovery and it made a huge difference. Redness and swelling went down faster than usual, and my skin healed beautifully. It's also helping with fine lines and evening out texture. The results are real and fast.
