GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of glycine–histidine–lysine (GHK) bound with a copper ion (Cu²⁺).
It is present in human plasma, saliva, urine, and blood, and plays a fundamental role in tissue regeneration, skin repair, hair follicle health, and cellular repair signaling.Rather than acting as a hormone or growth factor, GHK-Cu functions as a genetic and biochemical modulator, influencing how cells repair, renew, and protect themselves.
GHK-Cu (60Mg)
The GHK peptide has a strong affinity for copper ions. When bound as GHK-Cu, it becomes biologically active and capable of:
-
Integrating copper safely into cells
-
Regulating gene expression
-
Triggering copper-dependent enzymes
Copper is essential for many enzymatic systems, but free copper is reactive and potentially toxic, so the body uses GHK-Cu to deliver copper into cells constructively rather than destructively.
