GHK-Cu works on the follicle itself: it enlarges hair follicle size, strengthens follicles at the structural level (reducing the miniaturization that drives androgenetic alopecia), and stimulates angiogenesis to improve blood supply to the scalp
Vitamin C helps "recharge" glutathione, turning it back into its active state after it has neutralized a free radical
reduces oxidative stress via SOD and catalase induction Target: Copper-dependent enzymes, TGF- receptor, ECM proteins Supports collagen synthesis and skin barrier function Research shows potential for reducing fine lines and improving skin texture May accelerate cutaneous wound healing These are commonly discussed research protocols not medical advice
Post-surgical healing: Accelerating recovery from surgeries represents another common application, though any such use should involve the surgical team

Up-regulation of EGR-1 and cyclin D1 A bit more technical: EGR-1 (Early Growth Response 1) and cyclin D1 are transcription factors, proteins that, in the cells nucleus, determine which genes are switched on
