GHK-Cu

A naturally occurring copper complex found in human plasma, saliva and urine that declines significantly with age. One of the most studied peptides for skin and hair regeneration.

Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, activates hair follicle stem cells, promotes angiogenesis and wound healing, provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, and activates over 4000 genes involved in skin repair.

GHK-Cu is essentially a signal your body produces to repair and regenerate tissue. It declines with age, which is one reason skin and hair quality decline. Research asks whether supplementing it can reverse some of that decline.

• Collagen and elastin synthesis rate
• Wound closure time
• Hair follicle density and shaft thickness
• Gene expression profiling
• Skin elasticity and wrinkle depth
• Inflammatory marker levels

• Collagen stimulation
• Wound healing acceleration
• Hair follicle activation and thickening
• Anti-inflammatory effects
• Skin tightening
• Wrinkle reduction

First identified in human plasma in 1973 by Dr Loren Pickart, who observed that the copper-binding tripeptide declined sharply with age and drove regenerative gene expression.

Women and men 30 plus focused on skin regeneration, hair growth and thickness, wound healing, anti-aging and collagen support. Women in their 30s and 40s particularly benefit.

• Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for injectable research use.
• Handle the copper complex gently, avoid shaking.
• Topical research formulations use separate carrier bases.
• Store lyophilised at -20C, protect from light.
• Reconstituted solution stable up to 30 days at 4C.

• Copper content requires attention to cumulative exposure in protocols.
• Blue colouration of solution is expected from the copper complex.
• Both topical and injectable research routes are published.
• Very broad gene expression effects, a wide-acting compound.
