Peptide detail

GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (Glycine-Histidine-Lysine Copper Peptide) is a naturally occurring tripeptide complexed with copper that plays significant roles in skin health and regeneration. First discovered in human plasma, GHK-Cu declines with age, with levels dropping to about 20% by age 60 compared to age 20. This peptide stimulates collagen production, enhances elastin synthesis, and improves skin firmness and elasticity. It also exhibits powerful antioxidant properties, protecting skin cells from UV damage and environmental toxins. GHK-Cu accelerates wound healing by attracting immune cells to the injury site and stimulating the growth of new blood vessels. Additionally, it promotes hair growth by stimulating follicle cells and has shown potential for reducing inflammation and pain in various conditions.
