Research Findings
The research on GHK-Cu spans decades and reveals remarkable versatility.
Skin Rejuvenation and Anti-Aging
Studies consistently show GHK-Cu's ability to reverse signs of aging in skin.
- ▸ Modulates expression of 4,000+ human genes
- ▸ Upregulates 47 DNA repair genes
- ▸ 31.2% of genes show ≥50% expression change
- ▸ 59% of affected genes upregulated, 41% suppressed
- ▸ Resets gene expression to younger state
Collagen & ECM Enhancement
Comprehensive effects on extracellular matrix components in research models.
- ▸ Increases collagen IV synthesis by 25.4-fold with hyaluronic acid (2023)
- ▸ Stimulates collagen I, III, and elastin in dermal fibroblasts
