What is GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a copper-bound tripeptide that occurs naturally in human plasma and tissues. It consists of glycine, histidine and lysine, and binds copper in a 1:1 ratio. In the literature, it is associated with various regenerative and rejuvenating effects, which leads to its research in the fields of dermatology, orthopedics and hair restoration.
Researched effects and interesting facts
- Skin regeneration: accelerated healing of wounds, burns and scars
- Hair stimulation: activation of hair follicle growth
- Anti-inflammatory effect: reduction of cytokines and oxidative stress
- Collagen regeneration: support of ECM and synthesis of collagen types I and III
- Anti-aging effect: improvement of skin elasticity and hydration
How GHK-Cu works
The GHK peptide binds copper and transports it to tissues, where it participates in the activation of repair and regeneration processes. It regulates the expression of hundreds of genes related to the restoration of the extracellular matrix, inflammation and oxidative stress. Some studies have observed improvements in angiogenesis, collagen synthesis and hair follicle regeneration.
Dosage in studies
- Dose: 100–500μg daily
- Form: subcutaneous or intramuscular
- Frequency: 1x daily or every other day
- Duration: 2–6 weeks depending on the goal
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide complex with copper ions that is being studied in scientific studies for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. It is of significant interest in the areas of tissue healing, hair growth stimulation and skin renewal.
