GHK-Cu

What it is

GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK), supplied as a lyophilized powder. Mass 50 mg or 100 mg. Laboratory reference — no cosmetic claims on this sheet.

What research explores

• Copper(II)–tripeptide coordination chemistry
• Extracellular-matrix remodeling assays in cell models
• Gene expression and redox pathways in in-vitro systems
• Complex stability and speciation in research media

Studies

There is preclinical literature and some translational work on copper peptides; controlled clinical evidence varies and is not presented here as proof of use in people.

Reported effects

In cell and animal models, publications describe changes in matrix, inflammatory, and oxidative-stress markers. CodePept does not describe aesthetic or dermatological consumer outcomes.

In the literature

Published protocols use model-dependent concentrations (µM to topical/in-vitro study ranges). CodePept does not publish a protocol.
