Description
AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a bioactive, copper-chelating peptide (𝐶15𝐻24𝐶𝑙𝐶𝑢𝑁6𝑂4) predominantly known for stimulating hair growth, increasing hair follicle size, and improving scalp circulation. It is widely used in anti-aging skincare and hair care to improve follicle health and reverse hair loss.
- Key Function: Stimulates dermal papilla cell proliferation, encourages hair growth (anagen phase), and reduces hair loss.
- Mechanism: Increases blood flow to the scalp, blocks DHT production (a cause of androgenetic alopecia), and boosts collagen production.
- Usage: Commonly found in scalp serums, anti-hair loss shampoos, and specialized hair growth tonics.
- Forms & Quality: Often supplied as a 10mg lyophilized powder (for research) or incorporated into liposomal liquids for enhanced absorption.
- Comparison: Unlike the similar GHK-Cu, AHK-Cu has stronger research in targeting specific hair follicle regeneration.
