GHK-CU
Premium bioactive copper peptide featuring glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper chelation. Exceptional skin penetration with powerful repair, collagen stimulation, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Core ingredient for high-end skincare, aesthetic repair, scalp anti-aging, and wound healing formulations.
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1), also known as Blue Copper Peptide, is a naturally occurring copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK). First isolated from human plasma by Loren Pickart in 1973, GHK-Cu has emerged as one of the most extensively researched bioactive peptides in the fields of dermatology, cosmetic science, and regenerative medicine. It is naturally present in human plasma, saliva, and urine, with concentrations declining significantly from age 20 to 60, a pattern that directly correlates with reduced tissue repair capacity and visible signs of aging.
