GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. When bound to copper (II) ions, it forms a bioactive complex that plays a key role in tissue regeneration, inflammation control, and cellular repair.

Clinically, GHK-Cu has been shown to:

• Stimulate collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts
• Promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
• Attract immune cells to accelerate wound healing
• Provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
• Modulate gene expression to reverse cells to a healthier, more youthful state

Its cosmetic and therapeutic uses span anti-aging skincare, scar reduction, wound healing, and hair regrowth. GHK-Cu is available in multiple forms — injectable vial, topical cream, and hair/scalp solution — for targeted benefits.

• Accelerates wound healing and tissue repair
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer skin
• Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration
• Supports hair follicle health and promotes new growth
• Provides potent antioxidant protection against environmental damage
• Improves skin elasticity and hydration

GHK-Cu is used primarily for anti-aging skincare, wound healing, and hair regrowth. It enhances collagen production, tightens the skin, and improves overall skin and scalp health.

GHK-Cu is available in topical serums, injectable solutions, or microneedling-compatible gels. Topical or transdermal application is most common for skin benefits, while injectables may be used under medical supervision.

Yes, GHK-Cu is naturally occurring in the human body and is considered very safe when used as directed. No serious adverse effects have been reported in clinical studies. However, always consult a healthcare provider before use, especially for injectables.

GHK-Cu has been shown to stimulate hair follicles, extend the anagen (growth) phase, and reduce follicle inflammation. It is often used in hair loss protocols, especially in combination with microneedling or PRP.

Results may vary, but most users notice improvements in skin texture and tone within 2–4 weeks, and visible hair regrowth or reduction in fine lines after 6–8 weeks of consistent use.
