A review compiling preclinical data that GHK‑Cu stimulates ECM production, angiogenesis and antioxidant defenses in skin and other tissues, and that it modulates gene networks linked to repair.

What the study reported

GHK‑Cu associates with upregulation of genes related to antioxidant systems and ECM synthesis in preclinical studies; evidence supports antioxidant and regenerative potential in vitro and in animals.
