GHK-Cu
(Copper)

GHK-Cu, also known as copper, is a powerful peptide renowned for its regenerative and skin-rejuvenating properties. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, tightens loose skin, and improves skin elasticity—making it an ideal companion to weight loss peptides like Semaglutide, Retatrutide or Tirzepatide. As the body sheds fat, GHK-Cu helps restore skin firmness and reduce sagging, especially in areas like the abdomen, arms, and neck. It also promotes wound healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances overall skin tone and texture. Whether injected or delivered via aesthetic treatments, GHK-Cu supports a smoother, more youthful appearance—amplifying both the aesthetic and health benefits of rapid weight loss.
