Amid the hype, scientists and physicians are raising red flags
Plasma concentrations are highest in childhood and decline with age, which is part of why GHK-Cu shows up frequently in skin-regeneration, wound-healing, and aging-biology research as both an endogenous reference compound and a candidate study tool in cell-based models
Second, its a master detoxifier
Research areas where laboratories buy GHK-Cu for in vitro work include collagen, decorin and matrix-metalloproteinase gene expression in dermal fibroblast cultures, peptidemetal coordination chemistry and copper-binding affinity, antioxidant-pathway profiling such as superoxide-dismutase induction, and comparative studies of GHK-Cu against the free GHK tripeptide
