GHK-Cu (glycine-L-histidine-lysine) is a small copper-binding peptide, which has a remarkable and well-documented ability to improve wound healing and tissue regeneration, regulate remodeling of connective tissue and synthesis of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans, reduce inflammation and scarring, increase antioxidant-enzymes and protect cells from toxic by-products of lipid peroxidation
GHK-Cu is a complex naturally present in human plasma at a concentration of approximately 200 ng/mL at age 20, declining to ~80 ng/mL at age 60
