They added GHK-Cu in concentrations of 10 M to 10 M and measured: Collagen synthesis (by radioactive proline incorporation) Non-collagen protein synthesis Cell proliferation What they found: Stimulation of collagen synthesis by 70 % at the optimal concentration of 10 M (1 nM) The effect was NOT dependent on increased proliferation, fibroblasts increased production per cell Background: GHK without copper had a dramatically weaker effect , Cu is critical Reversibility: After removing GHK-Cu, synthesis returned to baseline Why it matters: This is the fundamental mechanistic study that documented the effect of GHK-Cu on collagen

This is because both of these muscle growth peptides help increase growth hormone (GH) production, which is important for the development of skeletal muscle tissue
258 260 Accordingly, there is general belief that persons with CKD who are infected with hepatitis C should be treated before they reach the need for kidney transplantation
Ipamorelin Description: Stimulates growth hormone, aids muscle growth, and fat loss
The irony is that most people that quit keto dont actually eat true keto macros which are: Fat: 7080% of total calories Protein: 2025% Carbohydrates: 510% (typically 2050g net carbs/day) These macros even if fat is reduced and protein increased as in ultra low carb body comp diets are still unsustainable as a lifestyle plan for most people / especially if they train for speed and strength Metabolic health is the new trend, keto just got a rebrand
