GHK CU 2mg capsule

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine–copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide present in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Its levels decline with age, and it has been widely studied for roles in tissue repair, wound healing, and skin regeneration. A 2 mg capsule typically refers to a compounded or nutraceutical oral formulation used in regenerative or anti-aging protocols. While most research focuses on topical or injectable forms, oral use is sometimes explored for systemic support, though bioavailability and absorption remain areas of ongoing study. Mechanism of Action: GHK-Cu acts as a gene modulator, influencing expression of hundreds of genes involved in: Collagen and elastin synthesis (skin structure and firmness) Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) Antioxidant defense and anti-inflammatory pathways Wound healing and tissue remodeling It also helps regulate copper transport and may support cellular repair processes by activating genes involved in tissue regeneration.
