GHK-Cu Peptide (Copper Peptide)
For Research Use Only – Not for Human Consumption
Supplied by A2V Aminos and Peptides
Product Overview
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper complex peptide composed of three amino acids bound to a copper ion. It is renowned for its role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, skin regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects. GHK-Cu has been extensively studied for its ability to stimulate collagen production, promote antioxidant activity, and modulate gene expression related to repair and immune function. This peptide is widely investigated in dermatology and regenerative medicine research.
Mechanism of Action
GHK-Cu binds copper ions and facilitates their bioavailability at cellular sites, influencing numerous biological processes. It upregulates genes responsible for collagen and elastin synthesis, enhances antioxidant defense mechanisms, and promotes angiogenesis. GHK-Cu also modulates metalloproteinases, enzymes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, thereby balancing tissue breakdown and repair. Additionally, it exerts anti-inflammatory effects by regulating cytokine production.
Research Applications
-
Skin and Tissue Repair: Promotes wound healing, skin regeneration, and reduces scars and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Modulates inflammatory pathways, potentially benefiting chronic inflammatory conditions.
-
Antioxidant Support: Enhances cellular antioxidant defenses to protect tissues from oxidative stress.
-
Hair Growth: Investigated for stimulating hair follicle growth and reducing hair loss.
-
Regenerative Medicine: Explored for tissue remodeling and repair in various organs and systems.
Peptide Stacking Considerations
GHK-Cu is sometimes studied alongside peptides such as BPC-157 or Thymosin Alpha-1 to potentially enhance combined effects on tissue regeneration and immune modulation. Such use is experimental and intended for research only.
Legal and Regulatory Status in Australia
In Australia, GHK-Cu is considered a Schedule 4 prescription-only substance under the Poisons Standard. It is not approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for therapeutic use and is not listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Possession or use without a prescription is unlawful. This product is supplied strictly for laboratory research purposes. (tga.gov.au, aussiepeptides.com)
