GHK-Cu Peptide

Meaning

GHK-Cu Peptide, or Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper, is a naturally occurring human plasma tripeptide that exhibits potent regenerative and protective effects across multiple tissue types. This small signaling molecule binds tightly to copper ions, which are essential cofactors for numerous enzymatic reactions involved in tissue repair and antioxidant defense. Clinically, it is recognized for its capacity to promote wound healing, improve skin structure, and potentially exert systemic anti-aging benefits. Its presence naturally declines with advancing age.
