What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Levels of this peptide decline with age, which has driven research interest in its potential role in tissue remodeling and dermatological science.
Areas of Research Interest
- Collagen and elastin production studies in skin models
- Wound healing and tissue-remodeling research
- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathway studies
- Cosmetic and dermatological formulation research
Regulatory Status
GHK-Cu is not FDA-approved as a drug for any use. Cosmetic formulations containing this ingredient are regulated separately under cosmetic guidelines, but injectable or research-grade forms are not approved for human or veterinary use and are intended solely for laboratory research.
