GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex present in human plasma, saliva, and urine. First isolated by Dr. Loren Pickart, it has accumulated one of the most robust research portfolios of any endogenous peptide, with published studies examining its effects on collagen synthesis, wound contraction, tissue remodeling, and anti-inflammatory gene expression.
GHK-Cu acts as a biological signal for tissue repair, upregulating growth factors and activating genes associated with skin and connective tissue regeneration. Its copper chelation properties add another dimension to its research profile, with implications for antioxidant enzyme activity.
