AHK-Cu 100 mg

AHK-Cu 100mg is a laboratory vial containing 100 milligrams of a synthetic copper peptide chemically known as Alanyl-Histidyl-Lysine Copper (or copper tripeptide-3). It is primarily marketed as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder intended for scientific research or the formulation of advanced cosmetic products, being particularly notable for its potential to stimulate hair growth and density.

Unlike its close relative GHK-Cu (which focuses more on general skin rejuvenation and healing), AHK-Cu is molecularly modified to act specifically within the hair follicle environment.

How does it work and what is it used for?

Hair follicle stimulation: Laboratory studies indicate that AHK-Cu stimulates dermal papilla cells (responsible for regulating the hair growth cycle), encouraging the hair to remain in its active growth phase (anagen phase) for longer.

Increased microcirculation: It promotes scalp vascularization, ensuring that follicles receive more oxygen and essential nutrients.

Collagen synthesis at the root: It helps remodel and strengthen the extracellular matrix surrounding the follicle, preventing it from weakening or undergoing premature miniaturization.
