GHK-CU

 What is GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (Blue Copper Peptide) is a complex composed of three amino acids and one copper ion, specifically copper-glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. Its chemical name is: Tripeptide-1 Copper. GHK-Cu (Blue Copper Peptide) features a copper ion at its center, surrounded by three amino acid molecules. Research confirms GHK functions in the form of GHK-Cu, a complex with copper ions.

Benefits of GHK-Cu

Anti-aging and wrinkle reduction: Upon entering the skin, the copper peptide releases signals that induce fibroblasts to produce collagen, thereby promoting collagen synthesis. Simultaneously, it carries copper ions into cells. When encountering enzymes, it releases these copper ions, which are crucial components in numerous enzymatic reactions. Extensive research has been conducted on GHK’s anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing effects. In vitro studies indicate its ability to stimulate collagen precursor synthesis surpasses that of anti-aging ingredients like retinoic acid and vitamin C. However, its wrinkle-reducing effects are slower than those of retinoids, requiring several months of continuous use to become noticeable.

Promoting Wound Healing, Repairing Damaged Skin, and Enhancing Skin Density and Resilience: Copper peptides stimulate the growth, division, and differentiation of nerve cells and immune-related cells, effectively accelerating wound healing and hair growth while repairing damaged skin. Products containing copper peptides demonstrate restorative effects on skin with micro-traumas, damage, or sensitivity.

Antioxidant Properties: The antioxidant effects of Blue Copper Peptide have been validated in in vitro and animal studies. It blocks reactive oxygen species formation, scavenges various peroxides, protects keratinocytes from UV damage, and prevents free radical-induced liver injury. Its potent antioxidant action brightens complexion, refines skin texture, and prevents aging.

Ghk-Cu Dosage

The recommended dosage for Ghk-Cu peptide injections is typically 1-5 milligrams daily, depending on individual health goals. Lower doses are often sufficient for anti-aging purposes, while higher doses may be required for wound healing or immune support.

Ghk-Cu Side Effects

Ghk-Cu is generally well-tolerated, though some individuals may experience mild side effects, including:

* Redness or swelling at the injection site

*Temporary fatigue

* Mild headache

Seek prompt medical attention if severe side effects occur.
