GHK-Cu, Copper Tripeptide-1 · What it helps
Connective tissue and joints
Tendons, ligaments, cartilage and vessel walls are all collagen and matrix. Copper is the metal that cross-links collagen into strong fibres. GHK-Cu supplies it and switches on the cells that build the tissue. Stiff, glycated or worn connective tissue is the target.
