GHK Peptide as a Natural Modulator of Multiple Cellular Pathways in Skin Regeneration

GHK-Cu accelerates wound healing and skin repair by stimulating collagen turnover, modulating metalloproteinases, and attracting immune and endothelial cells to injury sites.

Abstract

GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is present in human plasma, saliva, and urine but declines with age.. It is proposed that GHK functions as a complex with copper 2+ which accelerates wound healing and skin repair.. GHK stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen and glycosaminoglycans and modulates the activity of both metalloproteinases and their inhibitors.
