Uses and Benefits
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide in human plasma that declines with age. When used in injections (usually subcutaneous), it can offer various benefits:
Skin Rejuvenation and Anti-Aging: GHK-Cu helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, and enhance overall skin tone and texture by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans.
Wound Healing and Tissue Repair: It accelerates the healing of wounds, reduces scarring, and aids in the regeneration of tissues after burns or surgery by promoting new blood vessel and nerve growth (angiogenesis) and attracting immune cells to the injury site.
Hair Growth Stimulation: GHK-Cu can improve scalp health and promote new hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the hair follicles, reducing inflammation, and enlarging follicle size.
Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: It helps protect cells from oxidative damage and chronic inflammation, which are major contributors to the aging process.
Gene Modulation: It has the ability to modulate gene expression, turning on genes related to antioxidant defense and tissue repair while suppressing pro-inflammatory genes.
