GHK-Cu
Copper-binding tripeptide studied in collagen and gene-expression research.
Third-Party Tested by Verum Analytics
Albert's Verdict
GHK-Cu at ≥99% purity does something elegant — it upregulates over 30 genes associated with tissue remodeling while simultaneously downregulating inflammatory markers. The copper chelation is critical; purity here is non-negotiable.
