peptide
别名: GHK-Cu, Copper tripeptide-1, Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper(II)
About
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide that may support hair follicle health through wound healing and tissue remodeling pathways. In vitro studies suggest GHK-Cu can increase hair follicle size, stimulate proliferation of follicular cells, and extend the anagen growth phase. Clinical evidence is still emerging.
How It Works
GHK-Cu stimulates dermal papilla cells, upregulates growth factors (VEGF, FGF), promotes ECM remodeling, and enhances follicle blood supply.
Evidence For Conditions
Side Effects
- Scalp irritation or redness with topical use
- Skin sensitivity in some individuals
- Copper toxicity risk if ingested orally in large amounts
Drug & Supplement Interactions
- Other topical actives (minoxidil — may affect absorption timing)
- Zinc supplements (zinc and copper compete for absorption if taken orally)
- Chelating agents (may bind copper and reduce efficacy)
