GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1)
Copper-binding tripeptide studied for skin-remodeling and wound-repair signaling.
WHAT IS IT?
GHK-Cu is a small copper-carrying peptide your body makes naturally. The copper gives it a blue color and drives its signaling.
WHY ARE PEOPLE INTERESTED?
It's studied in skin-health and recovery research — skin repair, collagen production, and how skin cells rebuild their supporting matrix.
WHAT HAS RESEARCH SHOWN?
Its role as a skin-remodeling signal is well documented in cell studies. Cosmetic effects in people are not established as medical claims.
Distinguishes established clinical findings from early human trials, animal experiments, or laboratory cell culture findings. No human dosing, injection instructions, or treatment recommendations are provided.
FDA STATUS
GHK-Cu is INCI-listed for cosmetic formulation. BBOHC material is an analytical research reagent, not a cosmetic.
BBOHC LABS research reagents are non-clinical materials. An FDA approval for a finished medicine containing the same active ingredient does not imply that BBOHC's investigational research vial is FDA-approved.
Known risks & handling
Excess free copper is toxic to cell cultures at high concentrations.
