AHK-CU 100 mg

What is AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3)? AHK-Cu, or Copper Tripeptide-3, is a synthetic copper-binding peptide made up of three amino acids: Alanine-Histidine-Lysine, complexed with a copper ion (Cu²⁺). AHK-Cu has a structure similar to GHK-Cu, a well-known copper peptide, with the only difference being the first amino acid. However, AHK-Cu has drawn particular interest for its potential role in hair care, scalp support, and skin rejuvenation. Key Highlights of AHK-Cu: AHK-Cu has been studied for its ability to support the function of cells and hair follicles, which play an important role in the hair growth environment. Some research suggests that AHK-Cu may help support hair follicle elongation, promote cell proliferation, and support the production of factors associated with hair care. ⚙️ Mechanism of Action: The concept behind AHK-Cu use is to deliver the peptide directly to the target area, which may help reduce the limitations of passing through the skin barrier and may improve delivery efficiency compared with topical application. However, Amino Acid Sequence: L-Alanyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine (Ala-His-Lys) Complexed with a divalent copper ion (Cu²⁺) A synthetic analog of GHK-Cu, with alanine replacing glycine at the N-terminus Molecular Formula: C15H24CuN6O4 💡 Limitations to Be Aware Of Most AHK-Cu research currently focuses on topical application for hair care.
