Molecular Breakdown
GHK-Cu — copper tripeptide-1
GHK-Cu is the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper(II) ion — a naturally occurring “copper peptide” and one of the most studied compounds in skin-regeneration and tissue-remodeling research. Offered here as a lyophilized blue powder in 50 mg and 100 mg vials.

Research Focus — Skin / Tissue Regeneration
In the published preclinical literature, GHK-Cu is examined for collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, extracellular-matrix remodeling, wound-healing dynamics, antioxidant activity, and hair-follicle research — the basis of its “copper peptide” reputation.
