GHK-CU Raw Material
Copper tripeptide complex
Available as: 1g
Overview
GHK-Cu as bulk raw material. Gly-His-Lys bound to copper, a naturally occurring tripeptide first isolated from human plasma in 1973. Its levels decline with age.
Mechanism
Delivers copper to tissues and modulates the expression of thousands of genes involved in tissue repair, collagen and elastin synthesis and antioxidant defence.
Research highlights
- Stimulates collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in dermal fibroblasts.
- Supports wound healing and tissue remodelling in skin, lung, bone and other tissues in research models.
