GHK-cu
By TONIC RESEARCH
The human copper-binding peptide, GHK-Cu, is a natural peptide that is used as a protective and regenerative compound. GHK-Cu improves wound healing, stimulates collagen growth, boosts the immune system, and promotes growth of blood vessels. This compound has significant anti-aging effects as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
GHK-Cu can help by:
HEALING WOUNDS: GHK-Cu has shown promise in wound healing by promoting the migration and proliferation of skin cells and stimulating the production of factors involved in tissue repair. It may enhance wound closure and reduce scarring.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES: Some studies suggest that GHK-Cu may have anti-inflammatory effects by modulating inflammatory responses. This could potentially benefit conditions involving inflammation.
PROMOTING GROWTH OF BLOOD VESSELS: GHK-Cu has been investigated for its potential to promote angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. This can be important for tissue repair and wound healing.
BOOSTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: GHK-Cu has been associated with potential immunemodulating properties, including stimulating the production of certain immune cells.
ANTIOXIDANT BENEFITS: GHK-Cu has been suggested to have antioxidant properties, which may help protect cells from oxidative damage. Antioxidants can neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.
STIMULATING COLLAGEN PRODUCTION: GHK-Cu has been shown to promote collagen synthesis, a crucial protein for skin health, elasticity, and wound healing. This may contribute to its use in anti-aging skincare products.
AGING AND SUPPLEMENTATION: GHK-Cu levels in the body decline with age, and this decline has been associated with various signs of aging. Some suggest that supplementation with GHK-Cu could potentially counteract these effects and support healthy aging.
HAIR GROWTH: By enlarging hair follicle size, GHK-Cu can increase hair growth and thickness.
GHK-Cu binds to copper ion molecules (CU2+), and facilitates their transportation into the body's cells. This copper ion is an essential element for the cells' enzymes that are responsible for defending against oxidative stress, as well as boosting the creation of collagen, and energy production.
GHK-Cu binds to DNA and influences gene expression related to wound healing, collagen production, and superoxide dismutase (responsible for cellular deoxidation).
GHK-Cu stimulates the body's production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which promotes the production of new blood vessels to aid in wound healing and healthier tissue repair.
A: There are no known drug-drug interactions with GHK-Cu and other medications. Keep a list of all your drugs (prescription, natural products, vitamins, OTC) with you. Give this list to your doctor.; Talk with the doctor before starting any new drug, including prescription or OTC, natural products, or vitamins.
A: GHK-Cu displayed a very good safety and tolerability profile indistinguishable from placebo.
