Basic Introduction Of Copper Peptides

Copper peptide is a chemical substance with the molecular formula C14H24N6O4.
It is a complex of glycine histidine tripeptide (GHK) and copper, and its aqueous solution appears blue, hence it is also known as "blue copper" Nitrogen.
Copper peptide (Tripeptide Copper): It is the ancestor of peptides, which are actually small molecule proteins composed of amino acids. These small molecule proteins are more easily absorbed by the skin. Peptides are composed of amino acids with specific sequences arranged through amide bonds. A peptide composed of two amino acids is called a dipeptide, a peptide composed of three amino acids is called a tripeptide, and so on. Even if identical amino acids are arranged and connected in different ways, they will form peptides with completely different structures. Tripeptide copper, a trace element required to maintain bodily functions (2 milligrams per day), has many and complex functions and is necessary for the action of various cellular enzymes. Because there are many important enzymes in the human body and on the skin that require Cu ions, these enzymes play a role in connective tissue formation, antioxidant defense, and cellular respiration. Cu ions also play a signaling role and can affect cell behavior and metabolism. In terms of the function of skin tissue, it has the functions of antioxidant, promoting collagen proliferation, and assisting wound healing.
