Description:
AHK-Cu is a peptide with a copper ion linked to it. It is found in the blood of most mammals and is particularly important in regulating the growth, development, and death of vascular endothelial cells, the cells that line the inside of blood vessels. It is often called “copper AHK” and is of interest to researchers for its ability to improve hair growth and prevent the effects of aging as they relate to skin.AHK-Cu is a short peptide that is complexed with (chemically linked to) a copper molecule. In the case of AHK, the copper atom is linked between the alanine and histidine residues of the alanine-histidine-lysine peptide. The copper atom is bound to three of the nitrogen atoms in the tripeptide. AHK-Cu has been heavily researched as a skin conditioning agent and has recently gained interest as a potential treatment for hair loss after promising bench-top experiments.
AHK-cu Copper Peptides - Use rate to 10% This is a DIY product that can be added at the recommended level to skin, hair and nail serums, creams or preparations. AHK Copper Peptides should be used at pH levels between 5-7, no lower than 5.
AHK Copper stimulates the growth of dermal papilla cells. Apoptotic cells were decreased compared with control. The level of caspase-3 and PARP was decreased in the AHK-Cu treated group better than in serum-free control. In human hair follicle organ culture, the elongation of hair was increased over 155% in the AHK-Cu treated group. This product appears as a blue powder.
