GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1, Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine-Copper) is the most extensively studied copper-binding tripeptide in research. Naturally present in human plasma and saliva, GHK-Cu has been investigated for collagen and elastin synthesis, wound healing, skin remodeling, hair follicle stimulation, and gene expression modulation. The complex carries a characteristic blue color from the copper coordination.
