What is the GHK-Cu peptide
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring peptide found in the human body, including in blood plasma, saliva, and urine. It binds to copper ions and plays an important role in the body’s natural repair and regeneration processes. Over time, natural levels of GHK-Cu decline, which is one reason it has gained attention in the context of skin health, healing, and overall tissue support.

GHK-Cu's action:
GHK-Cu works by signalling the body to activate repair and regeneration pathways. It is known to:
- Stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, healthy skin
- Support tissue remodelling, helping damaged tissue repair more effectively
- Promote wound healing by encouraging new cell growth
- Provide anti-inflammatory effects, helping reduce redness and irritation
- Act as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by oxidative stress
In simple terms, GHK-Cu helps “switch on” the body’s natural repair systems.
