The peptide exists as a copper chelate with high affinity for Cu(II) ions
Actually, drugs are responsible for a large number of cases of acute liver failure.1 Acetaminophen accounts for the approximately half of cases of DILI in the United States.2 In other world's regions, for instance in developing countries, other drugs such as antituberculosis medications might be the leading cause of DILI.3 In some cases of DILI such as acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity, the mechanism of liver injury is fairly well understood, hepatic damage is dose dependent, and the toxicity is reproducible in animal models

Why All Peptides Might Not Be as Safe as They Sound TO DATE, THE FDA has approved more than 100 peptides for use as drugs
When a brand simply lists "Copper Peptides" on an ingredient label, they are likely using a cheaper, less effective complex
Two peptides that I utilize frequently in the arena of tissue repair are BPC-157 and Thymosan Beta 4 (sometimes referred to as TB 500)
