Effects of GHK-Cu on MMP and TIMP Expression, Collagen and Elastin Production, and Facial Wrinkle Parameters. Journal of Aging Science
BPC-157 is not FDA-approved for human use and requires a prescription from a licensed provider to be dispensed from a US compounding pharmacy
This synthetic peptide, based on a protein sequence found in gastric juice, has been studied for its ability to support healing and recovery through mechanisms that work with the body's own repair biology rather than overriding it
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, skin, and saliva, known for its research applications in skin repair, hair growth, and wound healing
In this study, phosphotoxic protein inhibited melanin synthesis by downregulating the expression of MITF, TRP-1, TRP-2, and tyrosinase in B16F10 cells and reducing cAMP levels (Jung et al., 2012)
