GHK-Cu – Overview

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It plays a key role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, anti-inflammatory signaling, and collagen production. It’s widely used in regenerative and aesthetic medicine for both systemic healing and topical skin repair.
