GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide. It plays a key role in tissue repair, anti-inflammation, and skin regeneration, largely due to its ability to modulate gene expression, promote wound healing, and stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans.
A seminal study published in Journal of Investigative Dermatology (1988) showed that GHK-Cu accelerated wound healing and increased hair follicle size in rats. It also has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce oxidative stress and protect against DNA damage. GHK-Cu has shown promise in restoring gene expression patterns associated with youth and reducing inflammation in chronic diseases. In human studies, including clinical trials for cosmetic use, GHK-Cu has demonstrated skin-tightening, improved elasticity, and reduction of fine lines and hyperpigmentation (International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2009).
