Its preservative power diminishes much faster at room temperature
This means that while GHK-Cu could provide some local free copper to inhibit 5AR1 in the scalp or sebaceous glands, the effect is unlikely to be as strong or predictable as pharmaceutical inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride
Furthermore, with the gradual degradation of the PTK hydrogel, hydrophobic KGN was released in a sustained manner, which could promote the differentiation of recruited BMSCs into chondrocytes for cartilage regeneration
Results: GHK-Cu 0.5%: +22% increase in hair count at 16 weeks Minoxidil 3%: Outperformed by the GHK-Cu group in the same cohort Secondary endpoints including hair shaft diameter and subject-reported satisfaction also favored GHK-Cu
Cholelithiasis was not reported in patients receiving the 14 mg tablets or placebo-treated patients
Prescription NAD+ therapies, however, are clinician-guided and personalized, allowing dosing and response to be monitored over time
