Pickart and colleagues documented that GHK-Cu at concentrations as low as 1 nM stimulates collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts, while concentrations of 10 nM activate decorin expression and glycosaminoglycan production [1]
This combination can cut recovery time dramatically compared to using either treatment alone
However, for women with compromised glutathione status (PCOS, IVF conception, gestational blood sugar issues, poor diet, environmental exposures), even therapeutic doses may generate toxic metabolites that affect fetal brain development
For instance, counteraction of both the L-arginine-induced disturbance and L-NAME-induced disturbance was seen, while maintaining blood pressure against both L-arginine (hypotension) and L-NAME (hypertension) (note, BPC 157 by itself does not affect basal blood pressure values [25] and likewise, BPC 157 by itself does not affect basal coagulation/platelets values [1])
