GHK-Cu

Also known as copper peptide · copper tripeptide-1 · ghkcu · glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper

Fibroblast studies support collagen-related biological activity, but this cannot establish clinical anti-aging, hair-growth, wound-healing, or systemic outcomes. Finished topical cosmetics and injectable GHK-Cu are different evidence questions.

Senzu is an independent research reference. We document the peptide market — vendor listings, third-party lab records, and published research. We do not sell peptides, and nothing here is medical advice or a dosing recommendation.

A listing is not an endorsement, a safety certification, or a statement that a product is legal or approved where you live. Most compounds documented here are not approved by the FDA or MHRA for the uses discussed.
