This is GHK. Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. A tripeptide your body makes, but less of as time goes on. Think of it as a fundamental repair signal. When tissue is damaged, GHK gets released from proteins like collagen to tell your cells to start rebuilding. We’re offering the pure, basic form (200mg) for controlled research applications.

The science is solid. This isn’t speculation; it’s a documented signaling molecule. Research indicates GHK’s primary action is to reset gene expression in fibroblasts, directing them to synthesize new collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. It’s about structural support and tissue remodeling at the cellular level.

Here’s what the published literature suggests GHK may influence in a research setting:

• Tissue Repair & Wound Healing: Studies, including those on diabetic ulcer models, note improved wound closure rates and granulation tissue formation with GHK exposure compared to controls.
• Antioxidant Response: Research points to GHK upregulating multiple antioxidant genes and potentially neutralizing damaging free radicals like those from lipid peroxidation.
• Inflammatory Pathways: Data suggests GHK may help modulate the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and inhibit specific stress pathways like NF-κB.
• DNA Repair & Gene Expression: Appears to positively influence the activity of genes associated with DNA repair and the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which clears damaged proteins.

Important Research Context: GHK has a strong affinity for copper (Cu2+). In the body, it often forms a complex (GHK-Cu). Our “Basic” version allows researchers to study the peptide’s core signaling function independently or to complex it under specific experimental conditions. The choice between GHK and GHK-Cu is a critical research parameter.
