-
When you are injured, your body sends out signals that there's damage to be repaired. Copper peptides help make your stem cells more likely to produce the growth factors that are needed to repair the damage of those cells.
-
Using copper peptides consistently for long periods of time can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and repair the surface of the skin.
