Frequently Asked Questions What concentration of GHK-Cu is effective topically
This process requires the involvement of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), ER redox protein 1 (ERO1), and GRP78 chaperone protein
Problems arise when nitric oxide production decreases or when the molecule gets broken down too quickly

The results have been striking: GHK-Cu has been shown to modulate the expression of more than 4,000 human genes, with the net effect being a return toward expression patterns associated with younger, healthier tissue.6 The pathways most consistently affected include antioxidant defense (upregulation of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione synthesis), DNA damage repair, extracellular matrix remodeling, and anti-inflammatory signaling
