What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It has been extensively studied for its role in wound healing, skin regeneration, anti-inflammatory signaling, and collagen synthesis. GHK-Cu activates over 4,000 human genes in research models, including many related to tissue repair and remodeling.
VELTRIDE supplies GHK-Cu 50mg with ≥98% HPLC-verified purity, shipped discreetly to Canadian researchers from West Kelowna, BC. It is one of the most researched copper peptides in dermatology and regenerative medicine literature, and is a staple in peptide research programs studying skin health, angiogenesis, and nerve regeneration.
Research Highlights
- Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis in fibroblast models
- Activates over 4,000 genes involved in tissue repair and anti-aging
- Anti-inflammatory activity — reduces TNF-alpha and IL-6 in research models
- Promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) in wound healing studies
- Nerve regeneration and neuroprotective effects documented in vitro
- Studied for hair follicle stimulation and scalp health applications
- Antioxidant properties — scavenges free radicals in cell culture studies
Stacks Well With
GHK-Cu is commonly studied alongside BPC-157 for comprehensive tissue repair research. Pairing with TB-500 covers both cellular migration and copper-mediated repair pathways. Epithalon is also studied in combination for telomere and longevity research.
