Anyone who has an interest in COPPER PEPTIDE technology

In human serum, copper spontaneously binds to glycyl-histidyl-lysine (GHK), a tripeptide complex that has high affinity for the copper (II) anion. This complex has been shown in vitro and in vivo to accelerate wound healing. One study reported that the addition of GHK-copper complex to human fibroblasts induced a specific, concentration-dependent stimulation of collagen synthesis A later study demonstrated a dose-dependent stimulation of glycosaminoglycan synthesis, specifically heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, by adding GHK-copper complex to human skin fibroblasts.

Properties: this complex copper-peptide (GHK) will accelerate wound healing, and stimulate glycosaminoglycan and collagen synthesis.

Use: Add the copper peptide solution (2 mL) to 4 oz. of cream or gel.

$10.50 per 2 ml

Have just ordered eight of these and am going to add two vials to each 6 oz. solution of Tricomin ------> TO MAX IT UP!!

Anyone who has had reservations in the past, therefore, about Tricomin not being strong enough, might consider this as an option.

$10.50 for only 2 mL of that stuff? WTF????

Looks interesting, what do you think about adding it to 4 oz. of aloe vera? Do you think it would be a good carrier?

 

[stax]

Red Rose, good idea on adding 2 vials of this stuff to tricomin, im going to do this aswell.

 

[Red Rose]

Yeah Stax, got the idea from a poster called Harry Balls over at HLH.

Should definitely help.

Yeah! Assume this stuff is highly concentrated. Will make enquiries, however, to establish its concentration.

 

[Bryan]

It better be REALLY REALLY concentrated.

 

[Felk]

How's the tricomin going for you guys?

 

[Goingat20]

could it be added to prox-n?

 

[stax]

Felk, just started 1 week ago so cant comment yet.

Red Rose, do you know what the peptide concentration of the Tricomin would be if you added 2 of those vials to a bottle? I read that Tricomin was .2% and in the trial they uses 2.5%. Would adding 2 vials of that stuff to a bottle of Tricomin make it 2.5%?

 

[ShedMaster]

I think folligen is far superior to tricomin.

Stax, if you refer to the thread over at HLH "GHK Peptide" the stuff is apparently only 0.1% concentration. So for the amount they are charging, it seems pretty worthless and moreover a complete f*****g rip off. Unfortunately, I have just ordered 8 of the bastards and am in the process of frantically trying to stop them from dispatching! Apologies if anyone has made an order on the back of this thread. I should have make enquiries myself, as to the concentration, before making unsubstantiated representations about a product. I made the fatal mistake of making an assumption (never make assumptions) that it would be concentrated because they advise that you should add the vials to 2oz. of gel. Oh well.

With respect to the concentration of Tricomin, I thought it was 2% but others seem to think it is 0.2%. Couldn't say who is right. Internet forums are as far f removed from a factual matrix of reliable information as you can get. It's like sticking your head in a garbage can. Sooner or later you might find what you are looking for but you can guarantee that you will be trawling through a lot of crap before you do.

The best, most credible evidence says that it IS about 2%. See my latest update about that over on HLH.

Bryan, do you know anything about this GHK copper peptide?

Why the hell is it so expensive? Is it difficult to synthesize? I am just trying to understand how this company can charge $10.50 for 2mls of 0.1% of GHK.

P.S. Harry balls at t'other site established that it was 0.1%.

Just the general stuff that's been posted about it over the years.

Synthesizing specific peptide sequences is NOT a trivial task. It's something far beyond what we "kitchen-sink chemists" could do, for example. OTOH, producing random ones like what you get in Folligen is something we ought to be able to do ourselves. Yes, that's why Tricomin is more expensive than Folligen.

Where did he "establish" that? I didn't see it...
