GHK-Cu, also known as GHK-Copper or simply GHK-Cu, copper peptide GHK-Cu is a natural copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. Copper peptides are generally small, naturally occurring protein fragments.
Targeting skin health:GHK-Cu has received extensive attention from the skin care industry for its potential to promote collagen production, promote wound healing, and improve skin elasticity.
Has anti-inflammatory properties: The potential anti-inflammatory effects of GHK-Cu have been studied. It may help regulate inflammation and promote tissue repair, making it a potential candidate for addressing various inflammatory skin diseases.
Hair growth:Some studies have shown that GHK-Cu can promote hair growth and reduce hair loss. It is often added to hair sprays and shampoos along with other copper peptides to restore hair growth.
Wound healing and tissue remodeling activity: The potential of GHK-Cu to promote wound healing is attributed to its ability to promote collagen synthesis, regulate inflammation, and stimulate cell migration involved in tissue repair. During wound healing, it results in better wound contraction, faster development of granular tissue, and improved angiogenesis to restore blood flow to damaged tissue.
Antioxidant properties: Copper peptides (including GHK-Cu) are believed to have antioxidant properties that help protect cells from oxidative stress and damage.
Treatment of acute lung injury through immune cell modulation:GHK-CU showed potential benefits in the treatment of acute lung injury by modulating immune cell activity.
Promotes Nerve Growth to Support Nervous System Function: GHK-Cu may benefit cognitive health by playing a role in nerve regeneration, thereby contributing to the overall support of nervous system function.
DNA Repair and Antiaging Properties: The multifaceted nature of GHK-CU extends to its effects on DNA repair mechanisms and general antiaging properties.
Anticancer: GHK-Cu has been recommended as a treatment for metastatic cancer. The research determines gene expression in normal and cancer cells and finds out which substances can silence genes involved in metastasis.
Reduce pain, anxiety and aggression: GHK-Cu can help you reduce anxiety and improve pain tolerance.
