GHK-Cu 50mg

GHK-CU is a naturally occurring copper complex composed of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine and a copper ion. It is found in human plasma, saliva, and urine, and is known for its regenerative, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. GHK-CU is used in skincare and hair care products for its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production, promote wound healing, and improve skin and hair health.
Key functions
Wound healing: Accelerates skin recovery and reduces scarring.
Collagen and elastin synthesis: Strengthens the extracellular matrix that supports the skin and hair follicles.
Anti-inflammatory: Helps calm inflammation and reduces damaging cytokines.
Antioxidant: Enhances the body’s natural protection against oxidative stress.
Skin rejuvenation: Can improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity, and reduce wrinkles and photodamage.
Hair health: Stimulates hair growth and thickness, and enlarges hair follicle size.
Decline with age
The concentration of GHK-CU in the body decreases significantly with age, which correlates with slower healing, reduced skin quality, and diminished hair health.
This decline is why GHK-CU is a popular ingredient in anti-aging and regenerative products.
Applications
Topical products: Widely used in anti-aging creams, serums, and hair growth products due to its regenerative and protective properties.
Supplements: Available in supplement form for those looking to support cellular health, though its efficacy as an ingestible supplement is still under research.
