Mechanism of Action
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide involved in tissue remodeling. It is best modeled as a repair and skin-aging signal: copper delivery, collagen and glycosaminoglycan remodeling, antioxidant response, inflammatory modulation, and gene-expression effects rather than a direct anabolic or hormone-like pathway.
