GHK-Cu explained: skin, tissue and the research context
The copper-binding tripeptide at the centre of skin and tissue research.
Research context
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide with a high affinity for copper ions. It is widely studied in models of collagen expression and gene regulation.
Reading the evidence
Much of the available literature comes from cell and animal models. Findings should be read with attention to study design, sample size and whether results have been independently replicated.
