GHK- CU (100mg)
GHK- CU (100mg)
GHK-Cu (glycyl-histidyl-lysine-copper) is a bioactive tripeptide naturally present in human blood plasma. Originally identified by Dr. Loren Pickart in the 1970s, it has been the subject of extensive research for its regenerative, antioxidant, and tissue-protective properties. This 100mg presentation supports extended or high-frequency research protocols studying systemic biological activity.
Mechanism of Action
• Research shows stimulation of key extracellular matrix components including collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycans, and proteoglycans in cell models.
• Studied for regulation of MMP and TIMP activity, supporting tissue remodeling balance in experimental settings.
• Preclinical research indicates activation of MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and migration.
• Studies suggest modulation of over 4,000 genes related to tissue repair, inflammatory response, energy metabolism, and antioxidant defense.
• Investigated for its ability to shift gene expression profiles toward patterns more characteristic of younger, healthier tissue.
• Demonstrates direct antioxidant activity through neutralization of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in laboratory conditions.
Research Areas
• Skin regeneration and wound healing biology including cell proliferation, matrix synthesis, and angiogenesis models.
• Cutaneous inflammation modulation in dermatological and photoaging research.
• Hair follicle regeneration and hair cycle biology.
• Neuroprotection and neuronal regeneration studies in nerve injury models.
• Gastrointestinal mucosal integrity and intestinal barrier biology.
• Pulmonary protection research in fibrosis and inflammation models.
• Systemic immune response and chronic inflammatory process modulation.
Presentation and Storage
