What Is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine complexed with copper(II)). It is one of the most extensively studied peptides in skin, collagen, and tissue-remodeling research. Greatest Peptides supplies GHK-Cu as a >99% pure powder for laboratory research use only.

GHK-Cu Research Overview
In published preclinical literature, GHK-Cu has been investigated for its role in copper transport, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in fibroblast models, extracellular-matrix remodeling, and broad gene-expression modulation. It is one of the most cited copper peptides in dermatological and wound-research models.
These observations describe outcomes reported in laboratory and animal research models only. GHK-Cu is a research chemical — it is not a dietary supplement, drug, or therapeutic product, and nothing here describes effects in humans.
