Copper Peptides

Meaning

Copper peptides are small, naturally occurring protein fragments that possess a high affinity for binding copper ions, forming a complex crucial for various biological activities. The most well-known is GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper), a tripeptide that is a key component in wound healing, immune function, and anti-inflammatory responses. In the context of longevity and aesthetic health, these peptides are particularly recognized for their potent role in tissue remodeling, stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in the skin. They represent a targeted approach to support the body’s intrinsic regenerative processes.
