GHK-cu

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 hyperpigmentation by increasing protein synthesis of collagen, elastin, and blocks ultraviolet damage to skin keratinocytes and improves fibroblast recovery. (FGF2)
• Improves wound healing and tissue regeneration (skin, hair follicles, stomach and intestinal linings, and boney tissue) by increasing protein synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, decorin, metalloproteinases, anti-proteases, vascular endothelial growth factor, nerve growth factor, neutrotropins 3 and 4, and erythropoietin.
• Possesses anti-inflammatory actions, suppresses free radicals, thromboxane formation, release of oxidizing iron, transforming growth factor beta-1, tumor necrosis factor alpha and protein glycation while increasing superoxide dismutase, vessel vasodilation.

GHK has a long history of safe use in wound healing and antiaging skin care. It should synergize with GDF11 for amazing results.
