Scientific product profiles
Mechanism of action
GHK-Cu can deliver copper to copper-dependent enzymes and influence gene expression related to collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycans, antioxidant defenses, and matrix-remodeling enzymes. It also affects fibroblast migration and inflammatory balance.
Potential benefits
May support collagen and elastin production
May improve skin firmness and texture
May support wound-remodeling signals
May strengthen antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defenses
Evidence context: Topical skin and matrix effects are the best described; outcomes depend strongly on formulation, concentration, and delivery.
