Copper is critical for collagen
Yes copper is necessary for collagen, but you need to understand that 99% of people are not deficient in copper, so yea copper deficiency can impair collagen, more copper does nothing for collagen output. Once enzyme needs are met, Adding more copper does nothing.
its like saying Oxygen is vital for muscles, therefore breathing in more oxygen will build more muscles ? you see how that doesnt make sense ?
I am going to give a few reasons why GHK-CU is the biggest scam:
1. The bac water mixed with copper makes the copper ions unstable due to PH balance (So instability paired with a short half life, your lucky if it even reaches the eperdermis of the skin, n even than, with a short half life, it cant make any meaningful difference on the skin)
2. The Half life of GHK-CU is very short so claims like ("2mg injections for 2 months cause glow and purge and collage") make no pharmacological sense
n mechanistically doesnt even work that way due to not being able to bind the receptors responsible for creating a purge like effect.
3. Gene modulation benifits are massively overstated, n no one even understands what there talking about when mentioning this as a benifit.
4. If it truly worked, research would not have stalled, it couldn't even go through phase 1 of systemic use in humans causes even the PHD researcher's knew it was a waste of time, Research does not stall for no reason. (mind you, going through phase 1 is a very low bar) If copper delivery was as powerful as you say, Big Pharma would've exploited it.
5. Hair thickening claims are placebo at best, it doesnt even interact with the follicle nor manipulate the anlagen phase like minox and fin/dut. nor does It bind to androgen receptors.
7. There are legit better options that exist for every claim about it that has been made regarding this peptide. The collagen benifits are comical compared to things like Tazarotene, Trentnoin, RedLight, Elavated IGF-1 levels, micro needling, the list goes on. GHK is not producing more collagen than any of these options at all.
