GHK-Cu
Peptide Therapy in Pasadena
What Is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide made up of three amino acids—glycine, histidine, and lysine. This tripeptide is known for its potential role in skin health, tissue repair, and cellular regeneration.
Because GHK-Cu binds copper ions, it plays a part in processes that may support collagen synthesis, antioxidant protection, and wound healing. It acts as a signaling molecule, helping the body maintain normal skin structure and elasticity.
At Alpha Hormones® in Pasadena, our licensed medical providers offer educational consultations for individuals interested in understanding peptides like GHK-Cu as part of a holistic, science-informed approach to wellness.
Why GHK-Cu Is Gaining Attention
GHK-Cu has become a focal point in regenerative and aesthetic medicine for its potential to support skin rejuvenation and tissue integrity.
Areas of active study include:
- Skin renewal and repair: Research suggests GHK-Cu may promote collagen and elastin production, supporting healthy skin texture.
- Antioxidant activity: It may help reduce oxidative stress and maintain cellular balance.
- Wound healing: Preclinical data shows potential for promoting natural repair responses following injury.
Although promising, GHK-Cu is not FDA-approved for any medical purpose. At Alpha Hormones®, we focus on providing accurate education and helping patients make informed decisions in a transparent and professional setting.
