What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide that is naturally produced in many tissues in the body. Copper peptides like this are naturally occurring protein fragments that have a high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function. GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the human body including, but not limited to promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the skin.

WHAT FORMS OF GHK-Cu ARE AVAILABLE?

GHK-Cu is available as a cream, foam, subcutaneous injectable, and serum. Our preferred form is the X-39 Stem Cell Patch.

HOW DOES GHK-Cu WORK?

GHK-Cu acts directly on fibroblasts by increasing the production of mRNA and protein for
collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and decorin; all of which are critical
components in tissue repair and maintenance. Further, it acts to stimulate the production of
metalloproteases and protease inhibitors which function to remove damaged tissue proteins.
Together these functions increase the function of the cellular machinery and scaffolding to
initiate repair and healthier tissue.
