GHK-CU COPPER (without package)
GHK‑Cu (glycyl‑L‑histidyl‑L‑lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper‑binding peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine that declines with age. It plays a central role in tissue regeneration, extracellular matrix modulation, collagen production, wound repair, and anti‑inflammatory processes. Due to its broad regenerative and protective effects, GHK‑Cu is widely studied in cosmetic, dermatological, and regenerative medicine applications.
