What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It declines with age and plays critical roles in wound healing, tissue remodeling, collagen synthesis, and anti-inflammatory signaling. Extensively studied for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging applications.
