概况

AHK-Cu (Copper Peptide 1) is a highly efficient ingredient renowned for its distinctive blue color and exceptional bioactivity. Through multi-targeted mechanisms, it addresses the root causes of hair loss by effectively restoring the scalp environment and promoting the growth of healthy, strong hair. Its core benefits include: acting as a signaling peptide to stimulate the synthesis of key proteins such as collagen, thereby strengthening the follicle structure; providing powerful antioxidant protection to neutralize free radicals and delay follicular aging; and repairing damaged scalp while improving barrier health to create an optimal growth environment for hair follicles. It is widely used in scalp care products such as hair growth serums and anti-hair loss shampoos.

Pharmacodynamics

Mechanism Of Action

This copper-binding tripeptide (Alanine-Histidine-Lysine-Copper) is researched for skin and hair regeneration. Its mechanism involves chelating copper ions to enhance enzymatic reactions, stimulating fibroblast proliferation, boosting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for angiogenesis, and promoting collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix production. It also increases antioxidant enzyme activity to reduce oxidative damage, supports wound healing, and may influence TGF-beta1 pathways to activate cell replication in hair follicles.
