Description
GHK is a naturally occurring tri-peptide that consists of the amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine. It was first isolated from albumin and is said to have a strong affinity for copper which is why it is usually referred to as GHK-Cu. GHK-Cu is present within the collagen and is released whenever the tissue undergoes damage. It can also be found in bodily fluids such as plasma, saliva, and urine.
Due to its ability to modify collagen synthesis, GHK-Cu is able to exercise many anti-aging effects on the skin, which are by far the most recognized. These include the tightening of loose skin and improvement of skin laxity, firmness, and clarity. It is able to reduce fine lines and depth of wrinkles and also increases hair growth and thickness by stimulating the growth of epidermal basal cells. GHK-u can also work as an antioxidant, thereby protecting the skin from the harmful UV radiation of the sun. Sun damage may also include hyperpigmentation, photo damage, and skin spots, which can be reduced by the use of this peptide.
The recommended dosage for subcutaneous injection is 0.2 ml per day and is available in the form of a 5 mL vial. GHK-Cu is often stacked with other peptides that have similar regenerative and wound-healing functions for optimal effects. These peptides include BPC-157, TB-500, Ipamorelin, and Tesamorelin sometimes. This combination specifically aims at bodybuilders who might want to recover quickly following an injury and desire improved overall health.
