Similar results were seen with regard to the number of serious TEAEs (7, 13 and 31)
(4) The researchers reported, On days 6, 10, and 13, tripeptide-copper complex-treated wounds contained significantly lower concentrations of TNF-alpha and MMP-2 and MMP-9 than control wounds. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation, along with matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) enzymes that break down extracellular matrix proteins might potentially influence both the inflammatory processes and the remodeling of tissues
GHK-Cu carries copper into signalling environments where copper-dependent enzymes are involved in tissue repair, antioxidant activity, collagen formation, and extracellular-matrix remodelling
Functional medicine practitioners use caution and typically consider chelation only when heavy metal toxicity is confirmed, combining it with broader brain health strategies such as nutrition, exercise, and cognitive support
