    What Is GHK-Cu?

    GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysyl copper) is a small, naturally occurring peptide that binds copper ions and is found endogenously in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Its concentration declines significantly with age, which prompted decades of research into its biological roles.

    What It May Help With

    Published research has explored GHK-Cu in the context of:

    • Skin remodeling and collagen synthesis
    • Wound and tissue repair signaling
    • Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity
    • Hair follicle support
    • General cellular signaling associated with regeneration

    Who May Be a Candidate

    GHK-Cu may be appropriate for adults exploring skin, hair, and tissue health under medical supervision. It is not FDA-approved as a drug. A licensed provider will review your health history — including any history of copper sensitivity — before recommending a protocol.
