What it is
GHK-CU (Glycine-Histidine-Lysine complexed with copper) is naturally present in plasma and saliva but declines significantly with age. Dr Loren Pickart's research documented GHK-CU's ability to activate over 4,000 human genes, with 50%+ involved in tissue restoration. Core mechanisms include stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis, activation of metalloproteinases for scar tissue remodelling, promotion of angiogenesis, modulation of TGF-beta (reducing excessive scar formation), antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory gene expression. Promotes hair follicle enlargement and density in hair loss research models.
