GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is the tripeptide GHK (glycine · histidine · lysine) bound to a copper ion. GHK occurs naturally in blood plasma and was first described in the scientific literature in 1973; the copper gives its powder a distinctive blue colour.

It belongs to Skin & Cosmetic Research and is widely studied in laboratory research on skin, connective tissue, and extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen.
