Research context

What is GHK-Cu studied for?

GHK is a naturally occurring tripeptide that binds copper. The cited literature discusses cellular signaling, skin-model, and tissue-remodeling research; it does not verify the composition of a commercial vial or support human-use directions.

  1. Literature review

    GHK Peptide as a Natural Modulator of Multiple Cellular Pathways in Skin Regeneration.

    Pickart L, Vasquez-Soltero JM, Margolina A. BioMed Research International (2015).

    Summarizes cellular pathways associated with GHK in skin-related research models.

    PMID 26236730 · DOI 10.1155/2015/648108

  2. Cell-culture study

    Stem cell recovering effect of copper-free GHK in skin.

    Choi HR, Kang YA, Ryoo SJ, et al. Journal of Peptide Science (2012).

    Examines copper-free GHK in a skin cell model and should not be generalized to GHK-Cu product performance.

    PMID 23019153 · DOI 10.1002/psc.2455
