GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)
What Is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide composed of three amino acids (glycine–histidine–lysine) complexed with copper. It is found in human plasma, saliva, and urine, and plays a role in tissue repair, skin health, and cellular regeneration.
GHK-Cu is widely studied for its involvement in collagen and elastin production, wound healing, antioxidant activity, and cellular signaling. In wellness and aesthetic medicine settings, it is commonly explored for its potential benefits related to skin rejuvenation, hair health, and overall tissue repair.
At Nulevel Wellness Medspa, GHK-Cu may be incorporated into a personalized, medically supervised wellness or aesthetic plan focused on regenerative skin support, recovery, and long-term tissue health.
