Technical description.
AHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide (alanine-histidine-lysine), a cousin of GHK-Cu, with a particular affinity for the hair follicle.
SuperBio Labs AHK-Cu is supplied as lyophilized powder with HPLC purity ≥99%, with a Certificate of Analysis per lot.
In cultured human follicles it lengthened the follicle and stimulated dermal papilla cells, the cells that direct hair growth (Pyo, 2007). Where GHK-Cu leans toward skin, AHK-Cu leans toward hair.
