GHK-CU

GHK‑CU is used in varied models, including those exploring skin, hair, and tissue repair. Laboratory protocols and model sensitivity determine specific inclusion.

The lyophilized powder should be stored frozen (-20°C) for long-term stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, it must be kept refrigerated at 2-8°C.

Yes. Common combinations include GHK‑CU with Epithalon or TB‑500 for broader regeneration goals. Combinations are informational only, not usage instructions.

The copper ion is the active catalyst that allows the GHK peptide to signal DNA repair and activate antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase.

It is studied for anti‑aging, skin regeneration, wound healing, hair health, inflammation balance, barrier repair and oxidative stress reduction.

No. GHK-Cu is the copper-complexed version. Researchers prefer GHK-Cu because the copper bond is required for most of the regenerative and signaling properties observed in studies.

The deep blue hue is the natural color of the copper complex. In a laboratory setting, this color serves as a visual indicator of the bond's stability and the purity of the metallopeptide preparation.

Research indicates that GHK-Cu can influence the transcription of over 4,000 human genes. It specifically upregulates repair genes and downregulates genes associated with chronic inflammation and cellular senescence.

Yes. GHK-Cu is widely studied in trichology models for its ability to enlarge hair follicles and stimulate the proliferation of follicular cells by improving microcirculation in the scalp.
