GHK-Cu (often mistakenly written as CHK-CU) is a naturally occurring copper peptide complex best known for its potential benefits in skin rejuvenation, wound healing, hair support, and tissue repair.
GHK = Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine (a naturally occurring tripeptide)
Cu = Copper ion attached to the peptide
This peptide is found naturally in human plasma, saliva, and urine, though levels tend to decline with age.
Commonly Claimed Benefits / Functions
1. Skin Rejuvenation
Often used in serums and creams to support:
Firmer-looking skin
Improved elasticity
Smoother texture
Reduced appearance of fine lines
2. Collagen and Elastin Support
May help signal processes involved in collagen production and extracellular matrix repair.
3. Wound Healing / Tissue Repair
Studied for support of skin recovery, repair, and regenerative signaling.
4. Hair Growth / Scalp Support
Popular in hair serums for helping support scalp health and fuller-looking hair.
5. Antioxidant / Anti-Inflammatory Support
May help reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling in skin.
6. Healthy Aging Interest
Frequently used in anti-aging skincare routines.
How It’s Thought to Work
GHK-Cu may influence gene signaling related to:
Tissue remodeling
Collagen synthesis
Antioxidant defense
Cellular repair pathways
GHK-Cu is a well-known copper peptide associated with skin repair, anti-aging benefits, collagen support, and hair/scalp wellness.
