AHK-Cu 100mg Peptide (Copper Tripeptide-3)

AHK-Cu (Alanine-Histidine-Lysine Copper) is a copper-binding peptide best known for its potential to support hair follicles and scalp health. Unlike GHK-Cu, which has broader effects on skin repair and collagen, AHK-Cu research is primarily focused on hair growth.
