Among them, GHK-Cu copper peptide injections are emerging as a cutting-edge approach that goes beyond fillers and neuromodulators, targeting the biology of aging at its core
While these therapies are still under investigation, early studies in animal models have shown the potential to slow or even reverse some aspects of aging
This could be due to chronic absorption issues or ongoing neurological problems
BPC 157 has beneficial effects on inflammation, hemorrhage, and edema after traumatic brain injury [33], various severe encephalopathies (which follow gastrointestinal and/or liver lesions), NSAID overdose [34,35,36,37], or insulin overdose seizures [38] and on severe muscle weakness after exposure to the specific neurotoxin cuprizone in a rat multiple sclerosis model [39] or magnesium overdose [40]
3) GHK-Cu provides additional copper for the natural antioxidant superoxide dismutase SOD in the skin, activating more SOD to exert its antioxidant effect and eliminate free radicals
