Other copper-peptide complexes exist in research literature, but GHK-Cu is the one most closely associated with the term because it was the first to be isolated and remains the most widely referenced in copper-peptide research
Research has indicated potential benefits in treating arthritis, primarily through its regenerative properties and its ability to enhance angiogenesis
The peptide normalized enzyme markers of muscle damage including creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase, indicating restoration of muscle cell membrane integrity and metabolic function
Leave in 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly
Oral bioavailability has not been characterized, and the compound's heptapeptide structure (773.89 Da) makes oral activity less likely than for the smaller Dihexa (504.66 Da), though not impossible given its modified sequence
