GHK-CU 50mg

GHK-Cu 100 mg (Copper Peptide Complex)

Overview
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide first identified in human plasma. It plays a central role in tissue regeneration, inflammation control, and cellular remodeling, making it a highly studied compound in both cosmetic and regenerative medicine research.

Mechanism of Action

• Copper delivery & enzymatic activation: GHK acts as a carrier of copper ions (Cu²⁺), delivering them into cells where they can activate enzymes critical to collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and antioxidant defense.

• Gene modulation: Research has shown GHK-Cu can upregulate genes linked to wound healing, anti-inflammatory responses, and cellular growth, while downregulating those associated with tissue breakdown and cancer progression.

• Stem cell and ECM support: Promotes extracellular matrix repair, fibroblast activity, and supports stem cell viability in aging tissues.

Potential Benefits (Based on Preclinical and Cosmetic Research)

• Wound healing & tissue repair: Accelerates healing and improves tissue remodeling in both skin and internal tissues.

• Anti-aging properties: Enhances skin elasticity, smoothness, and density in cosmetic studies; boosts collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

• Anti-inflammatory effects: Reduces oxidative damage and modulates inflammatory cytokines in multiple research models.

• Hair growth research: Shown to increase hair follicle size and extend the growth phase (anagen) in animal models.

• Neuroprotective potential: Experimental evidence suggests possible cognitive and nervous system benefits through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways.
