What Is GHK-Cu and What Does It Do?

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brandon Mines, MDLast reviewed May 1, 2026

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide that supports tissue repair and regeneration. Its levels decline with age, which contributes to visible signs of aging — and replacing it through peptide therapy is best known for supporting skin repair and renewal.

What GHK-Cu does

GHK-Cu is valued for its effects on skin, hair, and inflammation.

  • Supports skin repair and reduces visible signs of aging
  • Stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother skin
  • May encourage hair growth
  • Helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress

Who it may help

GHK-Cu is often considered by adults noticing aging-related changes in skin or hair quality, those dealing with inflammation, or anyone pursuing preventive wellness. At Bubolo Medical, it is frequently included in our Glow & Repair Stack alongside complementary peptides.
