Description
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys-Cu) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It is studied for its role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, hair growth, and skin regeneration.
Benefits
- Skin health β studied for stimulating collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production.
- Hair growth β explored for promoting follicle enlargement and regrowth in research models.
- Wound healing β linked to faster tissue repair and angiogenesis.
- Anti-aging β associated with reduced wrinkles and improved skin elasticity in studies.
- Cell signaling β interest in DNA repair and antioxidant pathways.
What researchers look at
- Copper-dependent activation of tissue remodeling pathways.
- Stimulation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes for skin repair.
- Angiogenesis and wound-healing models.
- Protective roles in oxidative stress and DNA repair pathways.
