Antioxidant Enzyme Pathways Antioxidant enzyme pathways receive enhancement through: Increased SOD activity via copper cofactor delivery Elevated catalase activity for HO breakdown Increased total glutathione levels creating stronger hydroxyl radical quenching capacity than glutathione alone Skin Regeneration and Dermal Architecture Clinical trials demonstrate profound skin rejuvenation effects that position GHK-Cu among the most effective topical and systemic anti-aging compounds
Topical mixing note For topical workflows, some compounded protocols mix reconstituted GHK-Cu into an unscented base cream or a hyaluronic-acid serum to hit a target percent
GHK-Cu's effects on skin fibroblasts extend beyond simple matrix production
