AK-3-CU / AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a copper-binding peptide analog of GHK-Cu optimized for hair follicle cells. Stimulates dermal papilla cells, promotes follicle elongation, increases DPC proliferation, protects against apoptosis, and prolongs anagen phase via VEGF upregulation and TGF-β1 downregulation.
