GHK-Cu, explained simply
A copper-binding tripeptide also found in the body, investigated for its role in skin and tissue remodelling.
Research area
Skin repair, extracellular matrix and antioxidant signalling
How it works
The GHK–copper complex is studied for its interactions with collagen synthesis and tissue-repair signalling.
Why it matters
It helps clarify the distinction between findings for topical products and hypotheses about other routes of administration.
What has been observed
Available human evidence mainly concerns topical use and wound care; subcutaneous findings are not directly equivalent.
Effects and points to consider
Observed effects depend on formulation and route. Reported protocols should not be read as clinically established treatments.
