GHK-Cu or Glow peptide is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It is known for its role in skin repair, collagen production, and wound healing. GHK-Cu also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and may support hair growth. It is widely used in cosmetic and dermatology products such as creams, serums, and foams. In research settings, it has been studied for tissue regeneration and anti-aging effects. GHK-Cu can be applied topically or used experimentally in injectable form. While topical use is generally considered safe, injectable forms are not approved for medical use.
Dosing GHK-CU
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper peptide with documented roles in wound healing, tissue remodeling, and skin regeneration. Research demonstrates activity in gene regulation related to collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and anti-inflammatory pathways.
