It consists of the tripeptide Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine (GHK) chelated with a copper(II) ion
This naturally occurring copper complex is now commonly used in various hair care products as well as post-hair transplant treatments
Peptides, naturally occurring short chains of amino acids synthesized in the body, act as selective signaling molecules that bind to specific cell surface receptors, triggering intracellular cascades [1]
While PRP provides a bolus of general growth factors, GHK-Cu acts as a precise genetic signal, modulating thousands of genes to promote regeneration
After completion of the reaction, the pH was adjusted to pH = 2-3 with citric acid solution (pH = 2)
Often referred to as the master antioxidant, it plays a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, supporting detoxification, and maintaining overall cellular health
