Overview

GHK is a naturally occurring three-amino-acid peptide found in human blood, saliva, and urine, with levels that decline with age. Separate from its copper-bound form (GHK-Cu), free GHK is being studied for its ability to influence gene activity patterns linked to tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and regeneration. It modulates over 4,000 genes, promoting tissue repair, reducing fibrosis, and activating stem cell-related pathways.
