What is copper peptide? What's the function?

Dr. Yu Gengli, Ph.D. of Shanghai Pharmaceutical organic chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, found an interesting phenomenon. The number of searches for copper peptides on SciFinder of the American Chemical Society has increased rapidly since 2012. It can be seen that the increasing popularity of research reflects the heat of the market. The rapid growth of copper peptide demand is due to the following reasons: firstly, the copper peptide is powerful and accurate, and it is safe to use; secondly, the progress of synthesis technology has greatly reduced the cost of copper peptide, and the concentration of copper peptide is increasing; finally, the rapid increase of functional skin care products and the continuous emergence of new models.

Efficacy of copper peptide in skin care and pharmacy

The definition of copper peptide is as follows

Blue copper peptide, also known as copper peptide, GHK Cu, is a complex of GHK (Tripeptide-1) and copper ion. GHK is a fragment of type I collagen. Dr. Lauren picat is the inventor of copper peptide. In 1973, he found that there is copper peptide in human blood. The content of copper peptide in young people's blood is 2.5 times higher than that in old people. At the same time, he found that copper peptide has good wound healing function. After further study, it was found that copper peptide could activate tissue remodeling.

Clinical studies have shown that copper peptide has a strong wrinkle removal and repair effect. It can act on the epidermis and dermis, increase the skin thickness by stimulating collagen synthesis, significantly smooth the skin and increase the skin elasticity. Through the contrast experiment before and after the use of copper peptide, we can clearly see that it has obvious effect on removing sensitive skin redness and swelling, removing wrinkles around the eyes and so on. At present, copper peptides are widely used in three fields: wrinkle removal, repair and anti-aging.

Dr. Lauren picat, the inventor of copper peptide, is now more than 80 years old. He is actively studying the application of copper peptide in health care and anti-virus. He is an old friend of Dr. Yu. When Dr. Yu Gengli visited him in Seattle, Loren mentioned that he not only used for external use, but also often contained 5 mg copper peptide preparation under the tongue to experience its anti-aging effect.

Since 2013, in addition to copper peptide products, Dr. Yu has developed a series of skin care peptide products with different functions (anti-aging, anti wrinkle, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and repairing, whitening, firming and rejuvenating skin, hair growth, etc.), which are supplied to 28 countries and regions in the world. We have cooperated with Harvard University and Tufts University in the R & D, design and preparation of multiple peptide projects, hoping to have more opportunities to share the interesting peptide research and development process with you.
