Copper Peptide GHK-Cu 99.5%

Product description

GHK-Cu (Gly-His-Lys-Cu) is a bioactive tripeptide with a very high affinity for copper ions (Cu²⁺). It was first isolated from human plasma and is also naturally present in saliva and urine. With aging, the level decreases significantly – in 20-year-olds the plasma concentration is about 200 µg/ml, while in 60-year-olds it is only about 80 µg/ml.

Thanks to its ability to bind copper and interact with cellular receptors, GHK-Cu transports copper ions in and out of cells, thereby supporting regenerative and protective processes. This makes the peptide a key component in cosmetology and in high-quality anti-aging products.

Main properties

• Regeneration & wound healing – stimulates fibroblasts to produce glycogen, glycosaminoglycans, and collagen, accelerating skin repair.
• Anti-aging effect – reduces wrinkles, improves skin elasticity and firmness, and gives a healthier appearance.
• Angiogenesis – supports the formation of new blood vessels, thus improving skin nourishment.
• Anti-inflammatory & antioxidant – neutralizes free radicals and reduces inflammatory processes.
• Immune response – attracts immune cells to damaged skin.
• Gene expression regulation – studies show that GHK-Cu can restore the expression of many genes to a “healthy” profile.

Applications

• Anti-aging cosmetics (serums, creams, masks).
• Regenerative products after aesthetic treatments.
• Products that support scar and pigmentation reduction.
• Hair and scalp care – strengthens hair follicles and stimulates hair growth.

Why 99.5% purity is important
The high purity guarantees:

• maximum effectiveness in cosmetic and research applications,
• stability of the copper complex (GHK-Cu shows one of the highest stability constants – log10(K) = 16.44),
• safety in carefully developed cosmetic formulas.

Precautions

• For external use only.
• Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Perform a patch test before use in a formula.
