Where the literature supports a stronger claim than the marketing, we follow the literature

Age-Related Decline In the body, GHK-Cu naturally occurs at concentrations of approximately 200 ng/mL in plasma at age 20, but these levels decline progressively with age to less than 80 ng/mL by age 60 - this age-related decline correlates with decreased tissue repair capacity, skin aging, and impaired regenerative responses, leading to the hypothesis that GHK-Cu decline contributes to aging phenotypes and that restoration of youthful levels through supplementation could have anti-aging benefits

GHK facilitates controlled copper uptake into cells, and unlike copper salts, GHK-Cu does NOT cause oxidative damage while actually exhibiting antioxidant properties by preventing free copper-induced lipid peroxidation

GHK-Cu has been shown in cell culture to increase dermal papilla cell proliferation and protect these cells from programmed cell death (apoptosis), shifting the Bcl-2/Bax survival balance in favor of cell protection
