These processes include the removal of peroxides and other toxins, the regulation of protein function and synthesis, the modulation of DNA synthesis and repair, the transportation of amino acids, and the cellular communications facilitated by glutamate receptors and hormonal signaling
In this form, the peptide complex appears to have strong protective and regenerative properties.3 These properties are why youll find GHK-Cu copper peptides (usually listed in ingredient lists under the name Copper Tripeptide-1 ) in various cosmetics, with skin care products being some of the most popular use cases
