GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide in the human body known for its anti-aging, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory properties, stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity, and aiding skin renewal. Found in plasma, GHK-Cu is used in topical cosmetics, serums, and foams for skin rejuvenation and hair therapies, though subcutaneous injections are also a method of administration. 
Benefits of GHK-Cu
Skin Health & Anti-Aging:
GHK-Cu stimulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and other key proteins that improve skin firmness, reduce wrinkles, and tighten loose skin. 
Wound Healing:
It accelerates the healing of skin wounds and promotes tissue regeneration by stimulating cell growth. 
Anti-Inflammatory:
GHK-Cu has antioxidant effects, protects skin cells from UV radiation, and reduces inflammation. 
Hair Growth:
It can be used in hair growth therapies and has been shown to stimulate hair regrowth. 
Cellular Activity:
GHK-Cu increases the expression of genes involved in matrix regeneration and can restore the viability of fibroblasts (connective tissue cells). 
Subcutaneous injections can be used for non-cosmetic benefits, especially for systemic effects, according to Prime IV Hydration & Wellness.
