GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It declines significantly with age — dropping from 200 ng/mL at age 20 to 80 ng/mL by age 60. Research demonstrates GHK-Cu stimulates collagen I, III, and IV synthesis, recruits immune cells to injury sites, promotes nerve outgrowth, and acts as a potent anti-inflammatory. Genomic studies reveal it can reset the expression of over 4,000 genes toward a healthier phenotype.
