GHK-Cu | Peptide Complex
Regenerative
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine:Copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. First isolated in 1973 by Dr. Loren Pickart, GHK-Cu has been studied across an extraordinary breadth of biological functions — from wound healing and collagen synthesis to DNA repair and gene expression modulation. Its plasma levels decline sharply with age, and researchers believe this decline contributes to diminished tissue repair capacity and accelerated aging. With over 50 years of published research, GHK-Cu remains one of the most scientifically substantiated regenerative peptides studied.
Collagen & Extracellular Matrix Synthesis — GHK-Cu strongly stimulates fibroblast production of collagen I, III, and VI, as well as elastin, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans, supporting dermal structure and connective tissue repair research.
Wound Healing & Tissue Repair — Decades of research confirm GHK-Cu accelerates wound closure, promotes angiogenesis, and recruits healing cells to injury sites, with applications across dermal, oral, and organ tissue research.
Gene Expression Modulation — Genomic studies show GHK-Cu influences the expression of over 4,000 human genes, including upregulation of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-repair genes while downregulating cancer-associated and inflammatory pathways.
Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Activity — GHK-Cu scavenges free radicals, reduces oxidative stress markers, and suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, contributing to its broad regenerative and protective research profile.
Hair Follicle & Scalp Research — Studies indicate GHK-Cu may stimulate hair follicle size, increase hair growth rate, and reduce follicular senescence, making it a notable compound in hair biology and scalp health research.
