Collagen and extracellular matrix support GHK-Cu stimulates fibroblast proliferation and upregulates the expression of genes involved in synthesizing collagen, elastin, dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and decorin key structural proteins and proteoglycans that form the skins extracellular matrix
This age-related decline is part of why researchers became interested in studying whether supplementing GHK-Cu might help maintain tissue repair capacity
How do GHK-Cu product strengths compare
Dilute the GHK-Cu solution with additional bacteriostatic water before injection
Copper compounds are also used as actives or excipients in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, e.g., copper peptide for skin regeneration purposes, cupric aspirinate and cupric salicylate for rheumatoid arthritis treatment, copper conjugated dendrimer for anti-tumoral activity, and copper liposome for enhanced stability of doxorubicin 5,6,7,8,9
