Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine is a naturally - occurring copper complex formed by a glycyl - L - histidyl - L - lysine peptide. Since it consists of three amino acids, it is referred to as a tripeptide. Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine has a high affinity for copper. It was initially isolated from human plasma and can also be found in saliva and urine.
China Extract Warehouse is a professional manufacturer and supplier of Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine in China. It specializes in offering top - quality products at competitive prices. For long - term cooperation, free samples are available. We're looking forward to your inquiry.

Benefits of Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine
- Cosmetic use
It is extensively used in anti - aging cosmetics. Several studies have verified the anti - aging, firming, and anti - wrinkle properties of Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - lysine.
Abdulghani et al. found that a facial cream containing Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine increased collagen in the light - aged skin of 20 female volunteers, outperforming vitamin C and retinoic acid.
Leyden et al. carried out a 12 - week facial study on face creams and eye creams containing Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine. Compared with the placebo, it significantly improved skin sagging, clarity, and appearance, reduced fine lines and wrinkle depth, and increased skin density and thickness. The Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine eye cream performed better than the vitamin K cream.
Finkley et al. conducted a 12 - week facial study on 67 women. According to biopsy histological analysis, applying Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine cream twice a day improved the appearance of aged skin, increased its thickness, reduced wrinkles, and strongly promoted skin keratinocyte proliferation. The same study also showed that the copper peptide Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine was non - toxic and non - irritating.
- Hair growth
Glycyl - L - Histidyl - L - Lysine and its analogs were discovered to stimulate hair growth. In some instances, the effectiveness of the synthetic analogs of GHK - Cu was comparable to that of 5% minoxidil.
GraftCyte has been clinically proven to enhance hair transplant results.
