GHK-Cu (Topical) 200mg

This is a specialized research product of GHK-Cu (Topical) from Core Peptides, a tripeptide complex intended For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use.

Description & Application

• Description: GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring complex consisting of the tripeptide Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine (GHK) bound to a copper ion ($Cu^{2+}$). This formulation is provided in a larger quantity (200mg) intended for research models investigating topical delivery.

• Mechanism: The copper ion stabilizes the GHK peptide and facilitates its delivery to cells. Research suggests it stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, which are primary components of the intercellular matrix.

• Research Focus: In laboratory and cell culture models, it is studied for:

  • Dermal Regeneration: Enhancing skin thickness, elasticity, and hydration through fibroblast stimulation.

  • Wound Healing: Investigating potential in ischemic wounds and diabetic neuropathic ulcer models.

  • Anti-Aging Research: Studies on the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and mottled pigmentation in photodamaged skin models.

  • Anti-Inflammatory/Antioxidant: Protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-alpha).

  • Synergistic Effects: Researching its collaborative action with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to boost collagen IV synthesis.
