What Is Tripeptide-1?
Tripeptide-1, also known as GHK, is a naturally occurring peptide that binds copper ions. When combined with copper (as Copper Peptide/GHK-Cu), it becomes a powerful signalling molecule for wound healing, anti-inflammation, and tissue remodelling.
This peptide is found naturally in human plasma and decreases with age. Topical application helps restore its benefits, promoting collagen synthesis, skin repair, and antioxidant enzyme production.
