Research focus
A copper-binding tripeptide complex investigated for collagen synthesis in cultured fibroblasts.
In simple words
GHK-Cu is a complex of a three-amino-acid peptide and copper. The selected laboratory study examines collagen production in cultured cells; GHK without copper and different copper complexes are not interchangeable.
GHK without copper and different copper complexes are not identical. The exact copper form and formulation of this vial are not independently verified.
