glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine · copper complex · tripeptide
it occurs naturally in your plasma. it binds copper.
it signals your tissue to repair, rebuild, restore.
by 60, you have less than half the concentration you had at 20.
the body already knows how to regenerate. ghk-cu reminds it.

ghk-cu doesn't create new biology. it restores the signalling your body has always had — the copper-bound tripeptide released at every site of injury, telling tissue to rebuild, collagen to form, inflammation to resolve.
ghk-cu (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine copper²⁺) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. first identified in the 1970s, it has been the subject of extensive research for its roles in wound healing, tissue remodelling, and gene regulation.
at the molecular level, ghk-cu stimulates synthesis of collagen, elastin, decorin, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. it also modulates the nf-κb inflammatory pathway and activates nrf2-mediated antioxidant defences.
a clinical study in diabetic patients documented 98.5% wound closure in the ghk-cu group versus 60.8% in controls. gene expression research suggests ghk-cu can influence over 4,000 human genes — many associated with tissue repair, stem cell activation, and metabolic restoration.
