GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide known for its powerful skin regeneration, anti-aging, and wound-repair properties.
This small tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine complexed with copper) plays a vital role in collagen synthesis, tissue remodeling, and cell communication.
At West Lab Chemicals, we supply cosmetic-grade, 99 % pure GHK-Cu peptide in 1-gram vials for topical and formulation research. Each batch is COA-certified and tested for purity, making it ideal for cosmetic laboratories and advanced peptide researchers.
What Is GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. When bound with copper (Cu²⁺), it acts as a biologically active complex that signals the body to regenerate tissues and restore skin health.
This copper-peptide complex has been widely studied for its ability to:
-
Stimulate collagen and elastin production
-
Improve skin firmness and elasticity
-
Accelerate wound healing and tissue repair
-
Enhance hair follicle growth and reduce scalp inflammation
In cosmetic formulations, GHK-Cu is a gold-standard ingredient for anti-aging, skin rejuvenation, and hair regrowth applications.
