GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in the human body. It is composed of three amino acids bound to a copper ion and is known for its regenerative properties. GHK-Cu plays a significant role in wound healing, tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and reversing signs of aging. Growing in popularity is the Glow Peptide Protocol, which combines BPC-157/TB-500 and GHK-Cu for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits. This blend promotes collagen synthesis, improves wound healing, reduces inflammation, and helps regenerate tissue, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
