The peptide supports endothelial cell growth and maintains vessel integrity
Key Preclinical Study (Neelakantan et al., 2018): Treatment in diet-induced obese mice produced progressive body weight loss, reduced white adipose tissue mass and adipocyte size, decreased total cholesterol, and no changes in food intake effects were metabolic, not appetite-driven
It is also important to note that the natural levels of GHK-Cu decline as we age, contributing to slower repair processes and visible skin ageing signs
