Overview
GHK (glycyl-histidyl-lysine) is endogenous; the copper complex is the research form most often cited in dermal and wound-model papers. The free tripeptide is separately indexed as CAS 49557-75-7. Confirm whether the lot is the complex or the peptide salt. This listing is a laboratory reagent, not a cosmetic claim.
Research areas
Framed as published laboratory and clinical literature. Not treatment guidance.
Extracellular-matrix assays
Fibroblast papers report changes in collagen, metalloproteinase, and antioxidant-enzyme transcripts after GHK-Cu exposure.
