GHK-Cu (copper) 100mg

Description

What it is

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide
composed of three amino acids (glycine, histidine, lysine) complexed to a copper ion. It occurs
endogenously in mammalian plasma, saliva and urine, and its concentration is reported to decline
with age — one reason it has attracted sustained research interest.

The sections below summarise findings reported in published preclinical and early-stage literature. They describe what has been observed in study models, not outcomes offered to any purchaser.

Areas of Research Interest

1. Collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix

• Studied for stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis in fibroblast cultures
• Investigated for its relationship to dermal matrix density and structural protein turnover
• Examined for effects on melanin-related pathways in pigmentation models

2. Wound-healing and inflammatory signalling

• Investigated in preclinical wound models for tissue-repair signalling
• Studied for modulation of inflammatory mediators
• Examined for its role in angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

3. Follicular research models

• Studied for effects on hair-follicle activity in animal and cell-culture models
• Investigated for its influence on the follicular growth cycle

4. Gene expression and cellular turnover

• Reported to influence expression of genes associated with repair and remodelling
• Studied in relation to clearance of damaged proteins
• Investigated for antioxidant activity linked to copper coordination
