Description
Copper-binding tripeptide studied for tissue remodeling and wound healing
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide widely recognized for its regenerative and anti-aging capabilities, playing an essential role in skin repair, wound healing, and overall tissue health. Actively stimulates collagen synthesis, improving skin firmness and elasticity while reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. With notable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Beyond skincare, Published literature has also linked GHK-Cu to enhanced hair growth, improved immune response, and broader applications in tissue repair.
