This amount helps maintain glutathione in its active, "reduced" state and prevents it from being depleted too quickly by oxidative stress
Copper is essential for many enzymes responsible for: Collagen and elastin production (for firm, resilient skin and connective tissue) Antioxidant protection, including enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD) Cellular energy metabolism and repair processes GHK-Cu therefore helps regulate both the breakdown of damaged tissue and the formation of healthy new tissue, giving it importance in research on wound healing, anti-aging, hair growth, and even gene expression regulation
It works by stimulating angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels), improving blood flow to injured areas and supporting the migration and proliferation of healing cells (Gwyer et al., 2019)
Unlike larger proteins, peptides are small enough to easily interact with cell receptors, triggering specific healing processes
