Copper Peptide GHK · Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Research demonstrates it stimulates collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, promotes wound healing, reduces inflammation, and activates protective antioxidant genes. Plasma levels decline with age, making it a significant anti-aging research target.

Lys-Glu · KE dipeptide

Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide (Lys-Glu) developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology as a vascular cytoprotective peptide. Research demonstrates it reduces vascular endothelial cell aging, suppresses excessive collagen synthesis, and modulates the renin-angiotensin system. Long-term animal studies show improved vascular function and survival; it is often studied as part of peptide longevity protocols.
