GHK-Cu

Skin, coat, wound healing

A copper-binding peptide the body makes naturally — and makes less of with age. Studied for wound healing, hair follicle stimulation, and skin repair. Vets use it for stubborn skin issues and slow-healing incisions.

In Plain English

Tells the skin to rebuild. Helps with chronic hot spots, atopic dermatitis flare-ups, slow-healing surgical sites, and dull aging coats. Can be used topically or injected.
