When severed nerves in animal models were placed in collagen tubes impregnated with GHK, researchers observed significantly increased nerve outgrowth, elevated production of nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophins NT-3 and NT-4, accelerated regeneration of nerve fibers, and increased axon count and Schwann cell proliferation compared to controls
Temporary microchannels in the scalp increase GHK-Cu absorption by up to 10-fold
How This Compares to Other Research This foundational 2007 study has been built upon by a growing body of copper peptide research: Pickart & Margolina (2018) In their comprehensive review of GHK-Cu regeneration science, the authors confirmed that copper peptide hair-stimulating effects appeared comparable to 2% minoxidil, with a superior safety profile
How does topical GHK-Cu dosage differ from injectable
Any condition involving dermal papilla cell death or dysfunction could theoretically benefit from copper peptide treatment
Detox problems Supplementing will help with the production of glutathione, and therefore will aid the body in ridding itself of harmful toxins
