HEALING & SKIN RESEARCH

GHK-Cu

A naturally occurring copper-bound tripeptide widely researched for skin, hair, and tissue regeneration.

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide, one of the most researched cosmetic and regenerative peptides. It has topical human research behind it and decades of cosmetic use, with a well-characterized role in collagen remodeling and wound healing.

Why BLP features GHK-Cu

Included because it has documented topical human research, a very well-characterized collagen-remodeling mechanism, and a long, consistent history of cosmetic and regenerative use. It represents established real-world use supported by mechanistic depth.

Mechanism

Strongly stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

Recruits repair cells and promotes new blood-vessel formation; acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

The copper ion is described as substantially enhancing tissue remodeling.

WHAT THE RESEARCH MEASURED

Research findings

Findings describe study outcomes, not expected personal results.

Human research findings

  • Topical and cosmetic human research reports visible skin tightening and improvement in fine lines over weeks.
  • Reported reductions in scars and stretch marks.
  • Reported thicker, faster-growing hair.
  • Reported faster healing and reduced inflammation. Extremely well tolerated; rare mild flushing.

Preclinical findings

  • Collagen and glycosaminoglycan stimulation well characterized in laboratory research.
  • Copper-driven tissue-remodeling and gene-expression effects documented in cell studies.
