Description
Benefits of GHK-Cu:
Skincare benefits
- Reduces signs of aging: Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, tightens loose skin, and improves firmness and elasticity.
- Repairs and rejuvenates skin: Repairs damaged skin barrier proteins, smooths rough skin, and can reverse age-related skin thinning.
- Improves skin tone: Reduces the appearance of photodamage, hyperpigmentation, and skin spots.
- Provides antioxidant protection: Protects skin cells from free radical damage and UV radiation.
Wound healing benefits
- Accelerates healing: Promotes faster and more efficient wound closure and improves tissue tensile strength.
- Minimizes scarring: Helps reduce scar formation.
- Reduces inflammation: Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent during the healing process.
Hair growth benefits
- Stimulates hair follicles: Activates hair follicle stem cells and can help with hair loss conditions like alopecia.
- Increases hair thickness: May increase hair growth and thickness and enlarge hair follicle size.
- Supports scalp health: Boosts vascular supply to the hair follicles.
Pain Relief Effects of GHK-Cu
- Increases L-Lysine Levels: Research on animal models suggests that GHK-Cu elevates levels of L-lysine, a natural pain-relieving amino acid. This mechanism may contribute to the peptide’s potential pain-relieving properties.
- Boosts L-Arginine Levels: GHK-Cu also increases L-arginine, another amino acid known for its pain-relieving effects. L-arginine enhances nitric oxide synthesis and improves blood flow, further supporting the peptide’s role in pain management.
- Neuroprotective and Anti-Degenerative Benefits of GHK-Cu: GHK-Cu is found in high concentrations in the brain, where it plays a protective role in the nervous system. Aging is associated with declining GHK-Cu levels, which may contribute to neurodegeneration. Studies indicate that this peptide promotes nerve growth, reduces inflammation, and enhances blood vessel development in the central nervous system. It shows promise in addressing neurological decline linked to conditions like Alzheimer’s and has the ability to reset pathological gene expression.
