GHK-Cu: Copper Peptide and Skin Research
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide studied for its role in wound healing, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant activity in skin and tissue models.
Overview
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-copper) is a naturally occurring copper complex that has been investigated for wound healing and skin repair applications.
Mechanism
GHK-Cu may support collagen and elastin synthesis and exhibit antioxidant properties. Copper is a cofactor for several enzymes involved in tissue repair.
Research Summary
In vitro and animal studies have explored GHK-Cu in wound healing and skin models. Results support further research in controlled settings.
Safety
For research use only. Handle according to lab safety protocols. Verify purity via COA.
