GHK-Cu

Deskripsi

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) first identified in human plasma by Dr. Loren Pickart in 1973. Its levels decline significantly with age, correlating with visible signs of aging. GHK-Cu modulates the expression of over 4,000 human genes toward a healthier, more youthful profile, while stimulating collagen I, III, and V synthesis, enhancing decorin production, promoting tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and wound healing. It also exhibits potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hair follicle-stimulating effects comparable to minoxidil in studies. With a strong safety profile and decades of research, it is widely used for skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, wound healing, scar reduction, and hair regrowth. Potential considerations include maintaining copper-zinc balance with prolonged use and minor injection-site reactions.
