Mitochondrial Activity
Mitochondria play a crucial role in our bodies. They are responsible for generating most of the energy needed to power various cellular processes through a process called cellular respiration. This is where mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the energy currency of every cell.
When the body produces copper tripeptides (GHK-Cu), mitochondria are involved in regulating the balance between the amount and quality of GHK-Cu that is produced. Mitochondria provide the necessary energy and metabolic support for GHK-Cu proliferation (growth and increase).
Proper hydration along with the use of electrolytes are important ways to support mitochondrial function. When your body is properly hydrated (by drinking four to five ounces every 30 minutes) along with the use of a high quality electrolyte supplement mitochondria thrive and can greatly impact your body’s ability to produce GHK-Cu.
GHK-Cu and mitochondrial function have a symbiotic relationship. Increasing GHK-Cu has shown the ability to enhance mitochondrial activities, such as increasing ATP production, oxygen consumption, and antioxidant defenses. Additionally, GHK-Cu has been found to support the synthesis of mitochondrial components and promote mitochondrial biogenesis, which is the process of generating new mitochondria.
Copper Tripeptides
GHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide that occurs naturally in your body and affects 4,192 genes. It is responsible for many critical functions in your body. It is known to help tighten and smooth skin, protect skin from UV damage, speed up wound healing, increase hair growth, reduce pain, support brain health and memory, reduce anxiety, repair damaged DNA, support scar remodeling, and reduce anger and aggression.
One of the most important jobs of GHK-Cu is to repair and regenerate healthy cells. GHK-Cu in the body declines at the same exact rate as repair cells. By age 30 GHK-Cu declines by 60%, by age 50 it declines by 75%, by 60 it declines by 90%, and by 80 it declines by 95%. That is astonishing!
RESEARCH & SCIENCE
Biochemist Dr. Loren Pickart stated the following in the study “GHK and DNA: resetting the human genome to health.”
“During human aging there is an increase in the activity of inflammatory, cancer promoting, and tissue destructive genes plus a decrease in the activity of regenerative and reparative genes. The human blood tripeptide GHK possesses many positive effects but declines with age. It improves wound healing and tissue regeneration, increases collagen, possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and increases cellular stemness and the secretion of trophic factors by mesenchymal stem cells. Recently, GHK has been found to reset genes of diseased cells from patients with cancer or COPD to a more healthy state. Cancer cells reset their programmed cell death system while COPD patients’ cells shut down tissue destructive genes and stimulate repair and remodeling activities.”
THE SOLUTION!
The X39® patch by LifeWave® helps your body stimulate mitochondrial function, which then helps proliferate GHK-Cu. This is what helps your body repair and regenerate well. Imagine resetting 4,192 genes back to when you were young. We are not talking about slowing the signs of aging, but reversing them! Get your LifeWave® X39® patches and start activating GHK-Cu and healthy mitochondria for a better quality of life!
