GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper Complex) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Discovered in 1973, it has been extensively studied for its role in collagen synthesis, stem cell proliferation, and gene expression modulation affecting tissue remodeling.
