Description
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma. It is a tripeptide composed of the amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine, complexed with copper. GHK-Cu is widely recognized for its regenerative and protective actions, particularly in the skin. It plays a significant role in wound healing, skin remodeling, and has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production makes it a popular ingredient in anti-aging and cosmetic products.
Benefits:
- Skin Regeneration and Anti-Aging: GHK-Cu is highly effective in promoting skin regeneration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin elasticity and firmness. Pickart & Margolina (2018) documented its regenerative and protective actions in comprehensive research.
- Wound Healing: It accelerates wound healing by stimulating the production of collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix, as demonstrated by Dou et al. (2020).
- Hair Growth: Research suggests that GHK-Cu can stimulate hair growth by enlarging the hair follicle size.
- Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: The peptide has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from damage and reducing inflammation.
Recommended Dosage: GHK-Cu is typically used topically in creams or serums. For research involving injections, dosages can vary widely. A 100mg vial provides a substantial supply for either topical formulation or multiple injections.
Recommended Stacks:
- Healing & Recovery Stack: GHK-Cu can be used alongside BPC-157 and TB-500 to provide additional support for tissue healing and regeneration.
