Copper - Essential Element for Life
As we age, our skin thins, and lines and wrinkles develop as our bodies produce collagen and elastin at a slower rate. We find ourselves exposed to free radicals through the sun's UV rays, environmental factors such as pollution, cigarette smoke and alcohol. As a result, age spots appear and skin becomes dull and lifeless as cell renewal slows and the skin's ability to retain moisture is diminished.
Scientific studies have clearly defined a role for copper in the regulation of growth, development, and function of the human body. Copper, the third most abundant trace mineral in the human body, following iron and zinc, is utilized by essentially every cell and organ.
COPPER:
- Plays a critical role in skin health by helping restore the skin's ability to repair itself.
- Is an essential component for collagen and elastin production.
- Works as an antioxidant to defend the skin against free radicals.
- Is important in firming and increasing the density of the skin.
- Is imperative for healthy skin.
Because copper isn't readily available to the skin in the foods we eat or the supplements we take, ProCyte developed a patented delivery system, known as GHK, enabling copper to get where it needs to within the skin's surface. Clinical studies have demonstrated the many benefits of GHK Copper Peptide Complex® including decreased skin blotchiness, decreased fine lines and wrinkles and an increase in skin firmness and tone --- all without irritation!
