Product Summary
GHK-Cu is a copper-complexed tripeptide composed of glycine (G), histidine (H), and lysine (K), forming a chelate with copper (II) ions. This 1 gram (1000 mg) offering is formulated for in vitro research and other controlled laboratory experiments, particularly investigations into dermal regeneration, wound-healing pathways, and antioxidant mechanisms [1]. While promising preliminary data suggest GHK-Cu may support collagen synthesis and foster tissue repair.

Potential Research Applications
1.Dermal and Collagen Studies
- Laboratories frequently examine GHK-Cu for its potential role in fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, which may illuminate processes behind scar reduction and wound closure [2].
- Anti-Inflammatory Investigations
- Due to copper’s known influences on enzymatic actions, some researchers employ GHK-Cu in in vitro or preclinical models to assess possible anti-inflammatory responses in cutaneous tissues.
- Tissue Regeneration Protocols
- GHK-Cu has garnered interest for its hypothesized regenerative properties, focusing on how the peptide may regulate cytokine release, angiogenesis, and other cellular repair cascades.
