GHK-Cu Research for Wound Healing
An evidence-based overview of research examining GHK-Cu in the context of wound healing. This page synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed literature.
Research Summary
GHK-Cu increased matrix accumulation in rat wound chambers, but this does not establish faster healing in patients. In an 86-person randomized venous-ulcer trial, copper-tripeptide cream did not outperform vehicle; silver sulfadiazine reduced ulcer size more than either. Endogenous GHK does not establish the safety of a manufactured copper complex by every route.
