Why does GHK-Cu’s copper transport function appear necessary for some of its effects (collagen synthesis) but not others (gene regulation), and what does that imply about cosmetic formulations that omit copper coordination?
Copper transport is non-negotiable for GHK-induced collagen deposition, but gene-level anti-aging effects can emerge as long as trace bio-available copp

What is the precise molecular reason GHK-Cu loses activity in many topical formulations within weeks, and which carrier systems (liposomal, peptide-stabilized, niosomal) actually preserve the Cu²⁺-tripeptide complex under EU cosmetic shelf-life conditions?
GHK-Cu dies in the jar because copper escapes the chelate and catalyses its own destruction, but liposomes or mixed-peptide complexes plus EDTA, kept at
