Quick Answer \u2014 What is GHK-Cu?<\/h3>\n

GHK-Cu<\/strong> is a naturally-occurring tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper (Cu2+<\/sup>). In published research it drives collagen synthesis, activates fibroblasts, promotes wound healing, and modulates approximately 4,000 human genes toward a youthful expression profile. Supplied in 50\u00a0mg lyophilized vials for laboratory research use only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What Is GHK-Cu?<\/h2>\n

GHK-Cu<\/strong> is a naturally-occurring tripeptide-copper complex, discovered by Loren Pickart in 1973 when investigating the anti-aging factor in human plasma. The three-amino-acid sequence glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK) has high affinity for copper ions (Cu2+<\/sup>), and the resulting GHK-Cu complex<\/strong> is the biologically active form found in plasma, saliva, and urine \u2014 declining from an average of 200\u00a0ng\/mL at age 20 to under 80\u00a0ng\/mL by age 60.<\/p>\n

The peptide has a molecular weight of approximately 340\u00a0Da (free GHK) or 402\u00a0Da as the copper complex, with empirical formula C14<\/sub>H23<\/sub>CuN6<\/sub>O4<\/sub>. It is supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder with the characteristic pale blue colour of the copper complex. GHK-Cu is uitsluitend voor laboratoriumonderzoek<\/strong> and is not intended for human or veterinary diagnosis or therapy.

Mechanism of Action \u2014 Copper Carrier and Gene Regulator<\/h2>\n

GHK-Cu’s mechanism is unusually broad because the tripeptide functions both as a copper carrier<\/strong> (transporting Cu2+<\/sup> into cells) and a gene-expression regulator<\/strong> acting on thousands of targets. Three mechanistic pathways dominate the published literature:<\/p>\n
