GHK-Cu 50mg

Name: GHK-Cu 50mg
Brand: Quanta Pharmaceuticals

A copper-binding tripeptide studied for collagen synthesis, wound healing and skin anti-ageing research.

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine, with levels declining significantly with age. It is one of the most extensively studied compounds in skin regeneration and wound-healing research, with roughly four decades of published work behind it. In a human trial comparing topical GHK-Cu against vitamin C and retinoic acid, GHK-Cu produced a measurable collagen increase in 70% of volunteers — outperforming both comparator actives. Separate research reports it upregulates basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and VEGF in irradiated dermal fibroblasts, both supporting angiogenesis and blood flow to damaged tissue, and accelerates wound closure by roughly 40-50% relative to controls across several animal models. Independent lab testing of the finished vial confirmed 99% purity with an actual content of 53.41mg against the 50mg label claim.

Research Benefits

Collagen synthesis — A human trial reported a measurable collagen increase in 70% of volunteers, outperforming vitamin C and retinoic acid comparators.
Wound healing — Accelerates wound closure by roughly 40-50% relative to controls across multiple animal models.
Angiogenesis support — Studied for upregulating bFGF and VEGF, growth factors that support blood flow to healing tissue.
Anti-ageing interest — Investigated for effects on skin elasticity and visible signs of ageing.
Hair follicle support — Explored in studies examining hair growth stimulation and follicle health.

How It Works

GHK-Cu is bioidentical to the compound naturally present in human plasma, where it plays a role in wound healing and tissue maintenance. Research indicates it works through multiple mechanisms: activating wound-healing genes, attracting immune cells and fibroblasts to injury sites, stimulating collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and regulating metalloproteinase activity involved in tissue remodelling.

Because it is bioidentical rather than a synthetic analogue, GHK-Cu is frequently the preferred choice in research studying physiological wound-healing and skin-regeneration pathways as they naturally occur in the body — a track record reflected in its comparatively large body of published research relative to newer cosmetic peptides.
