There’s a lot of hype surrounding GHK-Cu – the Copper Peptide – right now, and for good reason. It can dramatically improve the look and feel of your skin, and offer other anti-aging benefits, leaving you younger, more vibrant and wrinkle-free, all from just one peptide.
As we age, our bodies produce less elastin, the compound responsible for making our skin smooth and wrinkle-free. We also produce less collagen. As our collagen stores are depleted, our skin no longer looks full and new. With Copper Peptide GHK-CU Therapy, that process is reversed, and your body’s production of collagen and elastin begins to increase.
It’s even known to help increase the rate of growth, thickness and follicle-size of your hair!
If you have been wanting to try Peptide Therapy, call either of our offices or book online today to experience what Copper Peptide GHK-Cu Therapy can do to turn back your clock:
Peptide therapy uses what are called “factors” – GHK-Cu being just one of those factors – to produce age-defying health benefits. It’s an innovative new approach that is used to address the normal, gradual decline in our natural peptides that occurs in most of us due to aging. A peptide is, basically, a chain of amino acids. Amino acids are called the building blocks of life. Depending on how the amino-acid chain is made up, it can accomplish different goals.
GHK-CU, specifically, is utilized primarily to address anti-aging and skin renewal benefits, but Peptide Therapy can utilize blended formulations of various factors to address multiple concerns. Because the benefits rely on the specific peptides utilized, you can experience a huge range of benefits from Peptide Therapy. Here at Improving Your Health, Dr. Rubin can customize the benefits by customizing the peptides used to target certain conditions and achieve individualized goals.
Peptide therapy - with factors like BPC-157, PT-141, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, and GHK-CU - has an amazing array of applications, having been used to slow aging, reduce fat, improve sleep, restore energy, enhance sexual function, speed recovery and decrease inflammation. Various factors have been used to treat diseases ranging from diabetes to anemia – and they can be especially effective with autoimmune diseases.
That’s why it’s important to work with a Functional Medicine doctor who seeks to understand the underlying root causes of your health issues – so that therapies and treatments like Peptide Therapy can be fine-tuned to address your specific health needs.
Remember the periodic table of elements in chemistry class? Cu was the abbreviation for copper. Glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine-Cu (II), also known as GHK-Cu, is a tripeptide-copper complex. Used in regenerative medicine, It is a copper-based peptide factor widely recognized for its anti-aging capabilities.
Designed to enhance collagen production, GHK-Cu is exceptionally effective at diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, rejuvenating aging skin, and restoring skin elasticity. GHK-Cu can improve not only skin elasticity, but also its firmness and clarity. It can reduce hyperpigmentation, help repair skin barrier proteins and protect your skin from UV radiation.
Studies have shown it also helps to improve skin health by enhancing the body’s wound healing processes. GHK-Cu triggered the growth of new blood vessels and even nerve growth, known to be essential for skin healing and rejuvenation.
Peptide Therapy utilizing the factor GHK-Cu may help treat a variety of conditions, in many cases by reducing inflammation. GHK-Cu is rich in antioxidants and promotes blood vessel growth and can increase neural nutrition. It is known for its profound anti-inflammatory properties, making it especially effective for conditions impacted by inflammatory processes, including:
Peptide Therapy, in general, can have a wide array of benefits. GHK-Cu, in particular, has very specific benefits, including:
The GHK-Cu factor is unique as compared to other peptides because of its ability to repair your skin. Copper peptides are believed to potentially remove damaged connective tissues while creating new tissue. Research has in fact shown that CHK-Cu can stimulate the migration and proliferation of stem cells for tissue repair and regeneration. While it was first proposed that GHK-Cu functioned by modulating copper intake into cells, it was later established that the GHK peptide itself has growth-promoting effects on cells and tissues, including human fibroblasts and chondrocytes – which explains why it can even stimulate hair growth as well as new skin tissue to repair and renew your skin.
You and Dr. Rubin will explore the results of your medical history, physical exam and any testing that is deemed necessary as we consider all of your options when it comes to Peptide Therapy. If our Peptide Therapy protocol at Improving Your Health is right for you, it may include a single factor alone, or it could involve a variety of others to maximize results. Our goal is always to maximize your health and treat underlying causes of any illness or disease. That’s why every aspect of Peptide Therapy requires an individualized approach.
Peptide formulations that come in sublingual tablets, pills and sprays are widely available, but the right peptides should be prescribed by a physician who has experience and expertise in human health and hormones and can ensure you receive pharmaceutical quality peptide therapy that is administered properly and medically supervised.
Every individual will respond differently to GHK-Cu. The effect of each dose will be monitored to adjust dosage if necessary to ensure effectiveness. Your exact dosage will depend on various individual factors like your specific weight, age, skin condition, overall health, and other individualized needs. Most individuals begin to notice the full effect of Copper Peptide GHK-Cu Therapy benefits within a few weeks, while it may require several months for others.
Regular consultations at Improving Your Health to maintain your health are essential, especially if you begin to notice specific health issues, so that your condition can be evaluated, and next steps can be taken in a timely manner.
Once you have been instructed on the proper technique for injecting yourself with the GHK-Cu peptide, you can begin to administer the injections yourself in the comfort of your home.
