Blue copper peptide, also known as copper peptide, GHK-Cu, is a complex of GHK (tripeptide-1) and copper ions. GHK is a fragment of type I collagen.
Dr. Lauren Piccat is the inventor of copper peptides. In 1973, he discovered that human blood contains copper peptides. The content of copper peptides in the blood of young people is 2.5 times that of the elderly. At the same time, he found that copper peptides have a good wound repair function. After further research, it was discovered that copper peptides can activate tissue remodeling.
