AHK-CU

AHK-CU (Alanine-Histidine-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring, second-generation copper peptide specifically researched for its potent effects on hair follicle biology and dermal elasticity. While similar to GHK-CU, AHK-CU has a superior affinity for stimulating the proliferation of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) by upregulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor-7 (FGF-7) in the hair cycle.
