GHK-Cu Copper Peptide

For Research Use Only. Not for human use.

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) first isolated from human plasma in 1973. When complexed with copper(II) at a 1:1 ratio, it exhibits regenerative and protective effects in preclinical models, making it one of the most widely studied peptides in skin biology, wound healing, and tissue-remodeling research. According to pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, GHK-Cu stimulates blood vessel and nerve outgrowth, increases collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and supports antioxidant responses in preclinical settings. As noted by nationwidepeptides.com, GHK-Cu has no FDA-approved indications and is investigational only. This research-grade lyophilized formulation is synthesized under strict quality controls and provided with full analytical documentation.
