About GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of three amino acids. First identified in human plasma in 1973, it has since become one of the more extensively studied peptides in dermal research. Studies have examined its effects on collagen production, skin-cell activity, and changes within the surrounding extracellular tissue structure. Interest in GHK-Cu also grew after researchers observed that circulating levels decline with age.
