🧬 WHAT IS GHK-CU?
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide — three amino acids associated with a copper ion.
It occurs naturally in the body and has been studied for decades.
Research has explored GHK-Cu in areas involving extracellular-matrix biology, collagen-related processes, fibroblasts, skin biology, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling.
A lot of the interesting mechanistic work is laboratory or preclinical research, so the strength of evidence depends on the specific claim being discussed.
In simple terms: it is a tiny copper-carrying peptide with a surprisingly long research history.
Stay curious, research friends. 🧬
