How GHK-Cu works
GHK-Cu activates over 4,000 genes involved in tissue remodeling. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, promotes blood vessel growth, has anti-inflammatory effects, and acts as a potent antioxidant by recruiting copper to tissues that need repair.
Reported benefits
Based on published clinical trials, GHK-Cu has been associated with the following benefits:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis
- Accelerates wound healing
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Anti-inflammatory
- Promotes hair growth
- Antioxidant properties
