GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine that binds copper ions with high affinity. It was first identified in human plasma and is known for its regenerative, wound-healing, and skin-rejuvenating properties. The copper-binding component is essential to its biological activity, influencing gene expression related to repair, collagen production, and antioxidant defense.
Collagen & Elastin Stimulation: Promotes synthesis of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, supporting improved skin firmness and structural integrity.
Wound Healing Acceleration: Enhances tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and cellular turnover at sites of injury.
Hair Growth Support: May stimulate hair follicle activity and improve scalp health by increasing vascularization and follicular signaling.
Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Effects: Modulates inflammatory cytokines and supports antioxidant enzyme activity through copper-dependent pathways.
Gene Expression Modulation: Influences a wide range of repair-related genes, shifting cellular environments toward regeneration rather than inflammation.
