What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring peptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to copper ions—an essential element for enzymatic repair and regeneration. Clinically validated for its anti-aging, restorative, and anti-inflammatory effects, GHK-Cu has become a cornerstone in dermatologic, trichologic, and wound-healing medicine. At PeptideWebMD, GHK-Cu therapy is customized by licensed physicians to support skin rejuvenation, scalp health, and cellular recovery as part of a comprehensive regenerative protocol.

Note: This product is not approved by the FDA. It is available only via prescription under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider.

Science & Mechanism of Action

GHK-Cu functions as a copper-transporting peptide complex that delivers bioavailable copper to tissues, where it activates key regenerative enzymes and signaling pathways. This multifaceted activity helps restore dermal structure, improve hair growth, and maintain cellular homeostasis against oxidative and environmental stress.

Collagen Activation

Up-regulates genes responsible for collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

Tissue Repair

Promotes angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation for faster wound healing.

Anti-Inflammatory Regulation

Down-regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines while enhancing antioxidant defenses.
