Skin Rejuvenation

  • Increased collagen production by 70% in 12-week study
  • Outperformed retinol and vitamin C for wrinkle reduction
  • Improved elasticity, firmness, and thickness
  • Stimulates hyaluronic acid for improved hydration

Wound Healing

Accelerates healing through collagen deposition, angiogenesis, immune cell recruitment, and M1→M2 macrophage transition. Promotes organized collagen reducing scarring.

Hair Growth

Increases follicle size, prolongs anagen phase, stimulates follicular angiogenesis. Effects comparable to minoxidil in some models. See peptides for hair growth.

Gene Expression

Affects 4,047 genes (~6% of genome). Upregulates collagen synthesis, SOD defense, and DNA repair. Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines and tissue destruction enzymes.
