Research into clinician-guided GHK-Cu protocols has grown from there, focusing on whether restoring those concentrations may support tissue quality and cellular repair
Results: GHK-Cu alleviated weight loss, improved the disease activity index (DAI), reduced colonic edema and shortening, attenuated inflammatory damage, increased goblet cell numbers, suppressed inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-, IL-6, and IL-1, and promoted mucosal repair
Also nutrishes joints and helps in synthesis of collagen in joint cartilage
