00:00:02,208 --> 00:00:07,828
G H K copper opens our skin,
hair, and pigmentation collection.

2
00:00:09,048 --> 00:00:10,543
In 1973,

3
00:00:10,568 --> 00:00:15,448
Loren Pickart and Michael Thaler reported
a peptide from human blood serum.

4
00:00:16,488 --> 00:00:18,908
Its origins lie at the
University of California,

5
00:00:19,268 --> 00:00:21,588
San Francisco, in the United States.

6
00:00:22,588 --> 00:00:24,848
That is more than fifty
years of research history.

7
00:00:25,968 --> 00:00:27,223
By 1988,

8
00:00:27,248 --> 00:00:31,468
scientists were studying its copper
complex in collagen-producing cells.

9
00:00:32,308 --> 00:00:38,408
G H K contains three amino acids:
glycine, histidine, and lysine.

10
00:00:39,028 --> 00:00:40,228
It binds copper.

11
00:00:40,968 --> 00:00:42,688
Collagen helps give skin structure.

12
00:00:43,528 --> 00:00:46,723
Laboratory studies found
increased collagen production, but

13
00:00:46,748 --> 00:00:50,808
cells in a dish cannot show how well
a skin treatment works in people.

14
00:00:51,648 --> 00:00:54,843
In a randomized study published in 2006,

15
00:00:54,868 --> 00:00:59,743
13 people completed follow-up
after laser resurfacing.

16
00:00:59,768 --> 00:01:05,668
Copper-peptide skin care showed no clear
added benefit for redness or wrinkles,

17
00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:08,728
although patient satisfaction was higher.

18
00:01:09,788 --> 00:01:11,483
A small 2026 report

19
00:01:11,508 --> 00:01:17,243
in 18 people found improved eyebrow
hair count and thickness after 12 weeks,

20
00:01:17,268 --> 00:01:21,008
compared with the opposite eyebrow
receiving the comparison serum.

21
00:01:21,808 --> 00:01:23,208
Both studies were small.

22
00:01:23,968 --> 00:01:25,843
The FDA flags possible

23
00:01:25,868 --> 00:01:29,468
immune reactions and impurities
with compounded injections.

24
00:01:30,648 --> 00:01:34,068
Topical findings cannot
establish injection safety.

25
00:01:34,888 --> 00:01:37,308
Its long history is a starting point.

26
00:01:37,968 --> 00:01:42,468
Judge each claim by the product,
the people, and the outcome studied.

00:01:43,288 --> 00:01:44,663

00:01:44,688 --> 00:01:47,383
Peptides in 2.

29
00:01:47,408 --> 00:01:48,928
Every experience matters.
