Different categories of peptides include: Signal peptides Many popular peptides, such as Matrixyl, act as messengers that signal the skin to produce more collagen
Enzyme Activation Lysyl oxidase, the enzyme responsible for cross-linking collagen and elastin fibers (essential for tissue strength, elasticity, and proper matrix organization), absolutely requires copper as a cofactor - GHK-Cu enhances lysyl oxidase activity by ensuring adequate copper availability, thereby promoting proper collagen and elastin maturation and tissue structural integrity
Unlike vitamins that come from food or supplements, glutathione is produced by the body using amino acids
For the full research overview, see the GHK-Cu peptide profile
A PlexusDx provider conversation can integrate your genetic context, baseline biomarker results, clinical evidence for GHK-Cu, and your individual hair loss pattern to help determine whether GHK-Cu, nutritional optimization, or another approach may be more appropriate first
Also known as copper tripeptide-3
