The application value of copper peptides

1. In the form of skincare products: CHK Cu has multiple functions, serving as both a messenger and a carrier for transportation. Secondly, it has the advantages of being gentle, non irritating, and safe, making it highly valuable for external use in skincare products. [2]
(1) Anti aging and wrinkle reducing effects: Copper peptides enter the skin and release signals, inducing fibroblasts to become collagen and promoting collagen production. At the same time, carrying copper ions into the cell and releasing them upon encountering enzymes, copper ions are a crucial component in many enzymatic reactions. Researchers have conducted extensive research on the anti-aging and wrinkle reducing effects of copper peptides. In vitro experiments have shown that it has a stronger ability to stimulate collagen precursor synthesis than anti-aging ingredients such as retinoic acid and vitamin C. But the wrinkle removal effect is not as fast as retinoids, and it takes several months of continuous use to feel the effect. However, compared to vitamin A, there is relatively little research data on copper peptides, and many of the available information comes from the inventor Picket, lacking independent third-party verification.
(2) Promote healing, repair damaged skin, increase skin density and toughness: Copper peptides can promote the growth, division, and differentiation of nerve cells and immune related cells, effectively promote wound healing and regeneration, and repair damaged skin. Skin with minor wounds, damage, sensitivity, and fragility on the surface can be repaired by using products containing copper peptides.
(3) Antioxidant: The antioxidant effect of blue copper peptide has been confirmed in vitro and animal experiments. It can block the formation of reactive oxygen species, clear various peroxides, protect keratinocytes from UV damage, and block free radical damage to the liver, protecting the liver. Blue copper peptide has excellent antioxidant effects, which can brighten skin tone, refine skin, and prevent skin aging.
(4) Usage and dosage: Skin repair peptide-1 is a copper peptide powder product that can be added in the final stage of cosmetic production. The preparation temperature should be below 40 ℃, and the recommended concentration is 500pm-2000ppm.
2. In the form of pharmaceutical preparations or dietary supplements
GHK Cu microspheres coated with hydroxypropyl cellulose are used for colon specific drug release. The release of GHK Cu is influenced by the degree of crosslinking and drug loading, and this microsphere releases 50-80% of the drug within 4 hours. These studies suggest that GHK Cu can be used as a dietary supplement.
