June 2011
TLDR GHK-Cu and propolis may help prevent scalp aging and hair loss.
The document discussed the role of the human peptide GHK and its copper complex GHK-Cu in tissue remodeling and its potential benefits for scalp anti-aging and anti-hair loss. GHK-Cu was noted for its ability to attract repair cells, exert anti-inflammatory effects, and enhance protein synthesis, which contributed to increased fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation and enlarged hair follicle size. It was shown to improve skin elasticity, firmness, and reduce signs of aging in controlled studies. Additionally, EAA and water-soluble propolis were highlighted for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, with propolis also providing radioprotective effects, suggesting their potential in managing scalp aging and hair loss.
