In healthy young people (20-25 years of age), normal blood levels of GHK are approximately 200 ng/mL; by age 60, most people have levels of only 80 ng/mL (Dou et al., 2020) While the copper mode of action is still valid, a new mechanism has started to emerge since 2010, with a more comprehensive view on GHK mechanism of action that includes its effects on gene expression. In fact, data from the Broad Institute shows that GHK influences 32.1% of all human genes – this powerful peptide literally impacts how almost one third of our entire collection of DNA works.

A large body of research demonstrates the remarkable ability of GHK-Cu to promote regeneration and repair across a wide range of tissues, including skin (general regeneration and wound healing), hair follicles/hair regrowth, lung connective tissue, bone, liver, and stomach and intestinal lining

Copper GHK is an oral liposomal copper tripeptide complex, GHK-Cu, designed to help replenish endogenous GHK-Cu to more youthful levels. GHK is a naturally occurring bioactive amino that forms an ionic complex with copper in human plasma. As we age, normal levels of GHK-Cu decrease. It is thought that lower levels influence impaired wound healing and immune dysfunction among other age-related declines. 

Replenishing physiological levels of GHK-Cu has been shown to aid in powerful regenerative and reparative longevity actions including collagen and elastin synthesis, DNA repair, stem cell renewal processes, healthy inflammatory, neurological, and cardiovascular function, and a reset to epigenetic programming (Pickart, L. 2008)

WHO SHOULD TAKE COPPER GHK: 

Given its broad utility and functionality, GHK-Cu offers benefits for everyone, regardless of age. In younger individuals, supplementing with this bioactive amino complex takes a proactive approach, while replenishing levels in individuals with age-induced declines and/or increased regenerative or oxidative stress requirements provides support in targeted applications. 

Liposomal Delivery

A Higher Standard of Liposomal Delivery with QDS®

The Quicksilver Delivery Systems® signature trademark sets our liposomal products apart from other companies and ensures high absorption and bioavailability.

Quicksilver Scientific products' clear consistency can only be achieved with liposomes that are small (20-100 nanometers) and stable enough to pass between cells. These small vesicles begin absorbing as soon as they hit your mouth, so you can get high absorption of the product before it is altered by the harsh processes in the digestive system.

Remember, not every liposomal supplement is created equal. Quality, chemistry, and manufacturing practices matter.
