Research overview

GHK-Cu

A copper-binding tripeptide complex studied in fibroblast and extracellular-matrix research.

What is it?

GHK stands for glycyl-histidyl-lysine, a chain of three amino acids. GHK-Cu refers to its copper complex.

What does the research explore?

An early cell-culture study examined collagen synthesis in fibroblasts exposed to GHK-Cu. Fibroblasts are cells that produce components of the extracellular matrix.

How to interpret the evidence

Cell-culture findings are not evidence that a purchased product will repair skin or tissue in a person. Copper content, peptide identity and measured sample content require their own documentation.

Study findings apply to the material and experimental conditions used by the researchers. They do not show that a PepVision product produces the same effects, or establish a personal-use dose.
