This allows for the peptides to stay in solution with minimal degradation, allowing them to remain active within the given solution over extended periods of time
Research links it to follicle signalling, follicle anchoring, and reductions in markers associated with hair shedding, positioning it as a targeted copper peptide for topical hair and scalp use
Microarray studies using Affymetrix gene chips have demonstrated GHK-Cu resetting aging-related gene expression profiles in dermal fibroblasts, including upregulation of genes encoding superoxide dismutase (SOD1), metallothionein, collagen types I and III, and multiple anti-inflammatory interleukins
