[26] History [edit] During the early 1980s, Jean-Pierre Raufman worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institutes of Health for John Pisano, an "eccentric biochemist" who specialized in collecting venoms from various animals and looking for novel substances that could affect human physiology
In a phase 2 trial of people who were overweight or had obesity, Boehringer Ingelheims survodutide, which uses both GLP-1 and glucagon, led to weight loss of 19% at 46 weeks
The only trouble is, despite the clever marketing, theyre not actually a solution for sustainable weight loss. Its unsurprising that brands are jostling to fill the gap created by Ozempic as the shift to thin gains momentum and there is huge money to be made

Famously known as the beauty peptide GHK-CU (Copper peptide) can have the following benefits: Skin & Anti-Aging Stimulates collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production Improves skin firmness, thickness, and elasticity Reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Enhances wound healing and skin regeneration Helps normalize skin inflammation and redness Hair Growth & Scalp Health Encourages hair follicle growth and enlargement May reduce hair shedding Improves scalp blood flow and follicle health Often used in hair serums and scalp treatments Tissue Repair & Healing Accelerates wound healing Supports muscle, tendon, and ligament repair Promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) Useful in recovery from injuries or procedures Neuroprotective & Brain Support Shown in studies to support nerve regeneration May help protect neurons from oxidative damage Investigated for roles in brain repair and cognitive aging Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Effects Reduces inflammatory cytokines Acts as a powerful antioxidant Helps regulate genes involved in tissue breakdown vs repair Gene Modulation (Unique Benefit) GHK-Cu has been shown to: Turn on genes associated with healing and regeneration Turn off genes linked to inflammation, fibrosis, and tissue degradation This gene-level regulation is one of its most unique properties
