Stimulates production of collagen types I and III to support structural tissue integrity
Binds and delivers copper to enhance enzymatic activity involved in tissue repair
Regulates expression of genes involved in wound healing, antioxidant defense, and extracellular matrix remodeling
Modulates pro-inflammatory cytokines while supporting regenerative pathways
Studied for improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing dermal repair
Investigated for accelerating wound closure and improving tissue remodeling quality
Explored for increasing glycosaminoglycan production and improving matrix organization
Evaluated for promoting follicle health and improving microcirculation in dermal models
Research consistently demonstrates GHK-Cu’s ability to improve skin structure and restore youthful gene expression patterns.
Modulates expression of 4,000+ human genes
Upregulates 47 DNA repair genes
31.2% of genes show ≥50% expression change
59% of affected genes upregulated, 41% suppressed
Resets gene expression toward a younger profile
