Pairs with 3 recommended supplements
GHK-Cu stimulates collagen synthesis, Vitamin C is the cofactor making that collagen structurally sound. The enzyme cross-linking collagen into strong fibers requires Vitamin C to operate. Without it, GHK-Cu activates collagen production but the result is poorly formed. Vitamin C is the finishing step determining whether collagen activation produces a visible, lasting result.
GHK-Cu activates fibroblasts to produce collagen, those cells need the raw material to build with. Collagen Plus provides hydrolyzed Type I and III collagen peptides serving as both direct building material and independent fibroblast stimulators. The activation and the substrate, both present simultaneously.
GHK-Cu is a copper peptide, copper and zinc must be in balance for GHK-Cu to work safely. Adequate zinc prevents excessive copper accumulation and ensures GHK-Cu's copper component is properly utilized. Zinc also independently supports collagen synthesis enzymes and wound healing, maintaining the copper-zinc ratio GHK-Cu's optimal function depends on.
