Copper is an element essential to a number of physiologic processes in the human body, yet has not enjoyed the same degree of consumer understanding as iron and zinc. The presence of copper in living tissues has been known for more than 200 years. Early medicinal applications of copper typically involved treatment of painful joints and muscles using copper bracelets, or copper-containing ointments. Scientific studies have clearly defined a role for copper in the regulation of growth, development, and function of the human body.
ProCyte's copper peptide technologies utilize a sequence of amino acid carriers for health-essential copper. This unique delivery system mimics the body's natural copper transport mechanisms and has a variety of applications in skin health, tissue repair and hair care. ProCyte holds over 100 issued patents and patent registrations worldwide on its proprietary copper-based technology.
Not all copper is the same! Recent studies have shown that copper salts and GHK peptide added separately did not stimulate collagen synthesis. ProCyte's patented complexation of the GHK peptide to copper has been a dynamic breakthrough in copper therapeutics.
