Scientific Background
GHK Basic is the copper-free form of GHK-Cu. In biological systems, it naturally binds with copper ions to form GHK-Cu, a complex that plays a vital role in tissue repair, skin renewal, and anti-inflammatory activity. Research indicates that GHK Basic itself serves as a signal peptide, promoting:
-
Collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis for improved tissue structure.
-
Cell proliferation and migration during wound healing.
-
Regulation of gene expression associated with antioxidant defense and anti-aging.
-
Hair follicle stimulation and skin remodeling in various in-vitro models.
Applications in Research
GHK Basic is primarily studied for its potential regenerative and anti-aging effects, including:
-
Skin biology and extracellular matrix repair
-
Fibroblast activation and tissue remodeling
-
Hair growth and scalp health studies
-
Cellular protection against oxidative stress
Storage & Stability
-
Store lyophilized peptide at –20°C or below in a sealed container.
-
After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within the recommended timeframe.
-
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain structural stability.
Quality Assurance
Every batch of GHK Basic (200mg) undergoes strict testing using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) to confirm peptide integrity, purity, and consistency.
