Molecular Data

FORMULA Blend — Primary: GHK-Cu: C14H23CuN6O4
MOLECULAR WEIGHT GHK-Cu: 403.92 g/mol (primary active)
SEQUENCE GHK-Cu: Gly-His-Lys:Cu²⁺ (copper-binding tripeptide blend)

Compound Overview

Glow Mix is a peptide blend centered on GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine:Copper) designed for skin rejuvenation and dermal health research. The formulation leverages the well-documented collagen-stimulating, antioxidant, and tissue-remodeling properties of GHK-Cu as its primary active component. This blend is optimized for topical and skin-targeted research applications.

Reported Mechanism (Preclinical)

The GHK-Cu base activates collagen I, III, and elastin synthesis, promotes glycosaminoglycan production, and stimulates metalloproteinases for healthy tissue remodeling. The copper ion serves as a cofactor for lysyl oxidase (critical for collagen cross-linking) and superoxide dismutase (antioxidant defense). The blend formulation is designed to enhance delivery and bioavailability of the active peptide components to dermal tissue.

Mechanisms described above are reported in preclinical (animal and in vitro) literature and have not been established for human use.

Key Research Highlights

  • GHK-Cu stimulated collagen synthesis by 70% in human fibroblast cultures (Pickart et al., 2012)
  • Demonstrated skin thickening and improved elasticity in clinical dermatology studies
  • Copper peptide complexes promoted wound healing with reduced scarring in skin models
  • GHK-Cu modulated over 4,000 genes toward a younger expression profile (Campbell et al., 2012)
  • Enhanced hair follicle size and growth rate comparable to Minoxidil 5% in preclinical trials
