PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Follicle — AHK-Cu | 100mg | ≥99% Purity | Research-Grade
AHK-Cu (alanine-histidine-lysine copper peptide) is a copper-binding tripeptide that acts directly on follicular and dermal tissue. By chelating copper ions and delivering them to target tissue, AHK-Cu serves as a cofactor in collagen and elastin synthesis, angiogenesis, and stem cell signalling at the follicle bulge. Research has characterised its role in follicular vascularisation, hair cycle regulation, and the reversal of follicular miniaturisation — the primary mechanism of androgenetic alopecia.
Published research has investigated its effects on:
- Follicular miniaturisation and anagen phase support
- Copper-mediated collagen and elastin synthesis in dermal tissue
- Scalp angiogenesis and microcirculation
- Stem cell activation in the follicle bulge region
- Androgenetic alopecia and diffuse thinning models
AHK-Cu acts via direct tissue mechanisms rather than systemic hormonal pathways, positioning it as a subject of research interest distinct from DHT-targeting compounds.
