What is GHK?
GHK is the copper-free form of the well-known GHK-Cu tripeptide. It naturally occurs in human plasma and declines significantly with age. Even without copper, GHK influences gene expression of over 4,000 human genes, many involved in tissue remodeling, DNA repair, and antioxidant defenses.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
Modulates 4,000+ gene expressions
DNA repair and protection
Antioxidant system activation
Tissue remodeling
Anti-cancer gene activation
Suppresses metastasis-related genes
Stem cell attraction to injury sites
Research Summary
GHK has been studied for over 40 years. Genomic studies reveal it upregulates genes associated with tissue repair and suppresses genes associated with disease. Research by Dr. Loren Pickart demonstrates broad gene modulatory effects relevant to aging and disease prevention.
