Manufacturer Info
How It Works
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of glycine (G), histidine (H), and lysine (K). It has a high affinity for copper ions (Cu²⁺), forming a stable and biologically active complex that enhances copper’s bioavailability and intracellular activity. This interaction is thought to activate key biological pathways involved in wound healing, collagen synthesis, hair growth, immune function, and angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). Additionally, GHK-Cu may exhibit antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, further contributing to tissue repair and overall cellular health.
