Description
GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) – In-Depth Overview
GHK-Cu, or Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper(II), is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide first identified in human plasma. It plays a vital role in tissue remodeling, repair, and regeneration, and has become widely used in the fields of anti-aging, skin health, hair restoration, and wound healing.
Research has shown GHK-Cu to support collagen production, improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone and healing. It also promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and supports the repair of nerve and muscle tissue.
Each vial contains 50mg of GHK-Cu peptide
Main Benefits
1. Skin Rejuvenation
-
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
-
Improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity
-
Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation
-
Promotes even skin tone and faster recovery from cosmetic procedures
2. Wound Healing & Anti-Inflammatory
-
Accelerates healing of cuts, abrasions, and surgical wounds
-
Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in damaged tissues
-
Assists in repairing sun-damaged skin
3. Hair Regrowth
-
Increases hair follicle size and promotes thicker, fuller hair
-
Supports scalp health by reducing inflammation and stimulating growth factors
4. Anti-Aging at the Cellular Level
-
Encourages angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
-
Activates genes related to cell growth and repair
-
Decreases pro-aging markers and boosts youthful gene expression
Dosage Recommendations
-
Dosage: 1–2mg per day
-
Frequency: Daily or 5 days per week
-
Injection sites: Subcutaneous into fatty tissue (abdomen) or micro-injections into the skin for targeted areas (face, scalp)
Cycle: Can be used continuously or in cycles (e.g., 4–8 weeks on, 2–4 weeks off), depending on goals
Possible Side Effects
GHK-Cu is generally well tolerated, especially when used topically. However, possible side effects may include:
-
Mild skin irritation or redness at the injection or application site
-
Rare allergic reaction (itchiness or rash)
-
Slight metallic taste after injection (due to copper content)
Note: As with all peptides, ensure proper hygiene and dosing practices if injecting, and use products from a trusted, sterile source.
