Primary Applications
Hair Growth (Primary Application)
AHK-Cu is best known for its hair growth-promoting effects. The primary research on this compound comes from a 2007 study published in Archives of Pharmaceutical Research.
AHK-Cu promotes hair growth by:
Stimulating proliferation of dermal papilla cells (specialized fibroblasts critical for hair follicle morphogenesis and growth)
Reducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in dermal papilla cells
Modulating key apoptotic regulators (Bcl-2 family proteins, caspase-3, PARP)
