GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper peptide) is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It plays an important role in tissue repair, collagen synthesis, inflammation regulation, and overall cellular health.
GHK-Cu acts as a signaling molecule that helps direct cells to repair and regenerate damaged tissue. Unlike topical or cosmetic approaches that work at the surface level, GHK-Cu functions at the cellular level by influencing gene expression related to healing, collagen production, and antioxidant activity.
Because of these properties, GHK-Cu has been studied for its potential role in skin rejuvenation, hair health, wound healing, and connective tissue support. At BHRT Delivered, GHK-Cu may be incorporated into a personalized, medically supervised plan focused on tissue repair, recovery, and healthy aging.
GHK-Cu has been studied for a wide range of regenerative and supportive effects, including:
GHK-Cu supports collagen and elastin production, which may improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture while reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Research indicates GHK-Cu can accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration, supporting recovery from injury, procedures, or skin damage.
GHK-Cu may help support hair follicle health, reduce hair thinning, and promote a healthier scalp environment.
By modulating inflammatory pathways and reducing oxidative stress, GHK-Cu supports healthier connective tissue, skin, and joints.
GHK-Cu signals cells involved in DNA repair and tissue regeneration, supporting overall cellular resilience.
Through improved tissue repair and collagen support, GHK-Cu may contribute to healthier skin tone, texture, and hair quality.
Beyond cosmetic benefits, GHK-Cu may support recovery, connective tissue health, and cellular function, particularly in individuals experiencing age-related decline or chronic stress.
GHK-Cu may be appropriate for individuals who are seeking medically guided support for tissue repair and regenerative health. It may be considered for those who:
Want to support skin firmness, elasticity, and overall appearance
Are experiencing hair thinning or reduced hair density
Have delayed wound healing or scarring concerns
Want to support collagen production at the cellular level
Prefer non-invasive, peptide-based regenerative therapies
Are seeking a comprehensive approach to skin, hair, and tissue health
All patients must be evaluated by a licensed medical provider to determine appropriateness and safety.
GHK-Cu is commonly used to support tissue regeneration and cellular repair in conditions such as
Fine lines, wrinkles, and age-related skin changes
Slow-healing wounds or post-procedural recovery
Hair thinning or hair loss
Scarring or post-inflammatory skin changes
Chronic inflammation affecting connective tissue
Cellular repair support related to aging or oxidative stress
GHK-Cu is not a cure for these conditions but may provide meaningful supportive benefits when used under medical supervision.
Before starting peptide therapy, certain foundational practices may help support skin, hair, and tissue health:
Consistent cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection help maintain skin integrity and support healing responses.
Adequate protein, antioxidants, and essential minerals are critical for collagen production and tissue repair.
Proper hydration supports skin elasticity and cellular function
Most cellular repair occurs during deep sleep, making adequate rest essential
Gentle hair handling, minimizing excessive heat, and supporting scalp health can reduce mechanical damage.
UV exposure and toxins accelerate tissue damage and oxidative stress, counteracting regenerative processes.
If these strategies are in place and concerns persist, medical evaluation may be appropriate.
At BHRT Delivered, GHK-Cu therapy is approached with individualized, evidence-based care.
A licensed provider reviews skin, hair, recovery goals, lifestyle factors, and medical history.
When appropriate, assessment of tissue health, recovery patterns, and contributing factors is performed.
If GHK-Cu is appropriate, a customized protocol is developed, including dosing strategy and delivery method
Progress is monitored over time, and treatment is adjusted to optimize results and safety.
GHK-Cu is a clinically studied copper peptide that supports collagen production, tissue repair, inflammation regulation, and cellular regeneration. When used under medical supervision, it may provide meaningful benefits for skin health, hair quality, wound healing, and overall tissue resilience.
Through convenient telehealth care, BHRT Delivered offers personalized, evidence-based regenerative therapies focused on long-term cellular health, recovery, and vitality.
