GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Discovered in 1973, it functions as a potent regenerative and signaling molecule in the body, stimulating wound healing, increasing collagen production, and reducing inflammation.
Because plasma levels of GHK-Cu decline significantly as we age (dropping by about 60% by age 60), it has become a highly popular ingredient in skincare, anti-aging, and wellness therapies.
Key Benefits
- Skin Rejuvenation: It stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, helping to reduce fine lines, improve skin firmness, and repair protective skin barrier proteins.
Wound Healing: It accelerates tissue repair and reduces inflammation, making it a common post-procedure treatment after microneedling or laser therapies.
Gene Regulation: Research suggests GHK-Cu can modulate the expression of approximately 4,000 human genes, essentially signaling cells to return to a healthier, more youthful state.
How It Is Used
- Topical (Skincare/Haircare): Widely available in creams, serums, and scalp solutions. This is the most regulated and common method of use.
- Injectable: Sometimes utilized in anti-aging and regenerative medicine protocols. However, injectable peptides are often sourced from compounding pharmacies and lack robust FDA approval, standardized dosing, and long-term safety data in humans.
