Description
GHK-Cu is a copper-bound tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) first identified in human plasma. It is used in laboratory work on collagen and extracellular matrix research, copper-binding studies and skin and connective tissue models. Supplied as a lyophilized powder, strictly for laboratory research and analytical use.
Intended use · In-vitro laboratory research only. Not for human or animal consumption, and not for clinical, diagnostic, cosmetic or personal use.
N° 002 · How It Works
How GHK-Cu works.
GHK is a three-amino-acid peptide found naturally in blood plasma, and it binds copper tightly. The copper-bound form is what most research looks at. In cell studies it has been linked to collagen production and to the rebuilding of the material that sits between cells. Analyses of gene-expression databases have also connected GHK to changes in hundreds of genes tied to repair and antioxidant activity. Those were computer analyses of cell data, not clinical trials.
