GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) works by interacting with your skin’s cellular repair and regeneration systems.

How GHK-Cu Works in Skin Care

Copper Delivery System

  • GHK is a small peptide that binds tightly to copper ions.

  • Copper is essential for enzymatic processes like collagen synthesis and antioxidant defense.

  • GHK-Cu acts as a carrier, delivering copper directly to cells where it's needed most.

Gene Activation & Cellular Signaling

  • It activates genes responsible for skin repair, anti-inflammation, and antioxidant production.

  • Signals fibroblasts (skin cells) to produce:

    • Collagen

    • Elastin

    • Glycosaminoglycans

    • Proteoglycans

    • Decorin (a protein that regulates collagen structure)

Removes Damaged Tissue

  • Stimulates enzymes like metalloproteases to break down scarred or damaged proteins.

  • Simultaneously activates protease inhibitors to regulate this process and prevent excess degradation.

Reduces Inflammation & Oxidative Stress

  • Blocks release of free iron after injury, which can cause oxidative damage.

  • Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, calming irritated or inflamed skin.

Supports Angiogenesis (New Blood Vessel Growth)

  • Provides copper needed for angiogenesis, helping nourish regenerating tissue.

  • Improves circulation and nutrient delivery to the skin.

Neuroprotective Effects

  • Encourages axon growth and differentiation in neurons, suggesting benefits for nerve health and possibly skin sensation.

Why It Declines with Age

  • Natural levels of GHK-Cu decrease over time, which contributes to:

    • Slower wound healing

    • Increased inflammation

    • Reduced collagen production

    • Visible signs of aging

Supplementing with GHK-Cu in skin care helps restore youthful cellular activity and reverse age-related decline.
