// 01About the compound
GHK-Cu is a naturally-occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine + Cu²⁺). Literature reports an age-associated decline of approximately 60% in plasma levels between age 20 and age 60.
Published research examines GHK-Cu's role in collagen and elastin synthesis, antioxidant signalling, and wound-healing pathway activity across cellular and animal models.
It is included in the Max Nutrition USA catalog as one of the most widely-studied copper-tripeptide research compounds.
