GHK-Cu: The Copper Peptide That Firms and Brightens GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring tripeptide that the human body produces on its own but levels drop significantly with age, falling from approximately 200 ng/mL at age 20 to around 80 ng/mL by age 60, according to research published in Aging Pathobiology and Therapeutics

Research using ionic liquid-based microemulsion delivery systems for GHK-Cu demonstrated that treated hair follicles entered early growth stages within 6 days, exhibiting hyperpigmentation and hair regrowth
Zinc and keratin, for example, are important for hair growth, while amla extract and horsetail extract may help reduce inflammation and promote healthy hair, skin and nails, though research is limited and inconclusive
