GHK was discovered during studies comparing the effect of human plasma from young persons (age 20-25) to plasma from older persons like GDF11 was. It has a high affinity for highly destructive Cu2+ and forms a GHK-Cu complex and seems to reset genes to a younger, healthier state with the following downstream effects:
- Increases cellular stemness and the secretion of trophic factors by mesenchymal stem cells.
- Chemoattraction of repair cells such as macrophages, mast cells, capillary cells
- Resets genes of diseased cells from patients with cancer or COPD to a more healthy state.
- Blocks stomach ulcer development, and heals intestinal ulcers and bone tissue.
- Neuronal development and maintenance.
- Tightens skin, improves elasticity and firmness, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, photodamage and
1. Copper tripeptide 1 has anti-aging properties. After the blue copper peptide enters the skin, it induces fibroblasts to produce collagen, which effectively promotes the metabolism of old waste and the production of collagen. Stimulate the synthesis of glucosamine, make the skin more plump and firm, the facial lines will gradually fade, and the skin will be rejuvenated.
2. Copper tripeptide 1 has repairing power. Blue copper peptide can promote the production of keratinocytes, increase the thickness of the skin and help repair the damaged skin barrier.
3. Copper tripeptide 1 has antioxidant properties. Blue copper peptide is also very effective in anti-oxidation. It prevents the formation of reactive oxygen species and removes various peroxides.
