About GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex that was first isolated from human plasma. It consists of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine in complex with a copper ion. GHK-Cu levels naturally decline with age, decreasing from about 200 ng/ml at age 20 to 80 ng/ml by age 60. It has multiple regenerative properties and affects numerous genes related to tissue repair, antioxidant responses, and cellular health.
Research Notes
Extensive research has demonstrated GHK-Cu's ability to remodel tissue, improve skin appearance, and activate tissue repair genes. Studies show it can affect over 4,000 human genes, largely resetting them to a healthier, younger state.
