GHK-CU Copper Tripeptide Powder Promote Hair Growth

Copper Tripeptide-1 Description

Copper is an important trace element that has been found to be important in wound healing and enzymatic processes.Lysyloxidase is an important enzyme in collagen and elastin production and it is dependent upon the action of copper. Tyrosinase and cytochrome c oxidase require copper as well.The detrimental effects of free radicals on the skin have been elucidated in basic science research into skin photoaging. Superoxide dismutase acts as an important antioxidant and requires copper as a cofactor.

The peptide GHK spontaneously complexes with copper and facilitates the uptake of copper by cells. This peptide sequence is found in proteins of the extracellular matrix such as the αchain of collagen, and it is believed to be released during wounding and inflammation. A feedback stimulation of collagen repair has also been proposed for this peptide, but the main benefit to photoaged skin is believed to be the enhanced delivery of copper. Copper Tripeptide-1.

Copper Tripeptide-1 Application : 

1. Anti-tumor effect and DNA repair

A variety of tumor cell lines have been shown to be suppressed or die in the presence of this compound while healthy cell lines continued
to grow normally. This and other evidence implies that copper tripeptide-1 may be used in topical products to enhance normal tissue repair
without fear of neoplastic transformation.

2. Stem cell anti-senescence

Survival of stem cells in the basal epidermis and other epithelial cells is promoted by tripeptide-1. This suggests it could have an important
anti-ageing effect, and in fact, its anti-senescent effects have been demonstrated on a number of tissue types including skin. Keratinocyte
proliferation is encouraged through stem cell maintenance encouraged via copper tripeptide-1.

3. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

Many of the body's intrinsic antioxidant systems, including superoxide dismutase, are induced by copper tripeptide-1.
