Without adequate copper availability through GHK-Cu, newly formed collagen fibers cannot achieve proper structural cross-linking, making them vulnerable to rapid degradation by metalloproteinases
5.4.3 Dihydromyricetin Dihydromyricetin (DHM), the main flavonoid in rattan tea, exhibits broad pharmacological effects, including cardioprotection, anti-diabetes, hepatoprotection, neuroprotection, and anti-tumor activity
Why the copper complex matters GHK alone and GHK-Cu are studied somewhat differently in the literature because copper binding changes the molecules chemistry and is central to the pathways researchers investigate
HGH, on the other hand, focuses on the end result (the hormone itself) rather than the signalling pathways that lead to its release
