How GHK-Cu Works (Mechanisms of Action)

 1. Activates Over 400 Genes for Repair

GHK-Cu stimulates gene expression related to:

• skin remodelling

• ECM (extracellular matrix) building

• fibroblast activity

• keratinocyte repair

• angiogenesis

 2. Reduces Inflammation

GHK-Cu decreases inflammatory cytokines such as:

• TNF-α

• IL-6

• NF-κB pathway

This results in reduced redness, irritation, swelling, and oxidative stress.

 3. Increases Collagen & Elastin

Research shows dramatic increases in:

• Type I collagen

• Glycosaminoglycans

• Integrins

• Elastic fibres

This is why it is widely used in anti-aging medicine and cosmetic dermatology.

 4. Enhances Wound Healing

GHK-Cu improves:

• blood flow

• fibroblast migration

• tissue remodelling

• cellular oxygenation

It is used clinically for burns, surgeries, scars, abrasions, and injuries.

 5. Anti-Aging Signalling System

GHK-Cu supports:

• stem cell activation

• antioxidant pathways

• mitochondrial protection

• DNA repair gene expression

What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide found in the human body, first identified in 1973. It is one of the most scientifically studied regenerative molecules, known for its ability to activate large sets of genes involved in wound healing, collagen synthesis, antioxidant defence, and skin rejuvenation.

As levels decline with age, supplementation provides marked improvements in:

• Skin quality & firmness

• Healing speed

• Inflammation reduction

• Collagen & elastin production

• Hair growth

• Tissue regeneration

GHK-Cu works both topically and systemically, making it one of the most versatile anti-aging peptides available.
