GHK-Cu — a copper tripeptide complex — studied in skin, extracellular-matrix, and wound-model research.
GHK-Cu is a tiny chain of three amino acids (glycine, histidine, and lysine — amino acids are the building blocks of proteins) stuck to a copper atom. Your body makes it naturally and it shows up in your blood, saliva, and urine. The amount in your blood drops a lot as you age. Sellers often point to that drop as a reason to take GHK-Cu, but whether putting it back actually does anything useful is still unclear. Loren Pickart first isolated it in 1973.
