GHK-CU 100mg

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II)) is a small, naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. 

What It Is and How It Works

• Natural decline: Discovered in 1973, its levels in human plasma drop from about 200 ng/mL at age 20 to 80 ng/mL by age 60, mirroring the body's slowing tissue repair capacity. 
• Carrier function: It acts as a carrier peptide that binds and delivers copper ions to cells, which acts as a vital cofactor for enzymes responsible for collagen and elastin cross-linking. 
• Cellular signaling: It signals fibroblasts to synthesize collagen, modulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to clear out damaged tissue, and reduces inflammation and free-radical damage. 

Common Uses and Benefits

• Skin health: Used widely in topical serums and creams to improve skin firmness, enhance elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and support wound healing.
• Hair support: Included in some topical scalp formulations to stimulate hair follicle size and encourage growth
