Systemic Delivery in Animal Models: Wound healing studies have used both topical application (creams, hydrogels, collagen matrices) and subcutaneous delivery
GHK-Cu: The Copper Peptide That's Rewriting the Rules of Regeneration How a three-amino-acid sequence discovered in human blood became the Swiss Army knife of anti-aging medicine In the pantheon of anti-aging interventions, most compounds fall into one of two categories: the overhyped and underdelivered, or the promising but perpetually "five years away from clinical application." GHK-Cu, a copper-binding tripeptide that sounds like a military designation for classified equipment, occupies a refreshingly different space
Additional studies are necessary to confirm this finding, but these results suggest that as yet, poorly understood factors affect enzyme activity
