Overview
What is GHK-Cu / Epithalon?
This preparation combines GHK-Cu, studied for collagen remodeling and skin quality, with epithalon, examined in cellular aging and pineal rhythm research — an aesthetic and longevity pairing in one prescription.
Mechanism
How it works
GHK-Cu research centers on collagen and elastin synthesis and antioxidant activity; epithalon research centers on telomerase expression and melatonin rhythm. The two act through unrelated pathways.
