Studies comparing GHK (apo) vs GHK-Cu consistently show reduced activity for the copper-free peptide
Based on differences in the carbon skeleton, phenolic acids can be mainly divided into two categories: hydroxycinnamic acid (e.g., cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid) and hydroxybenzoic acid (e.g., gallic acid, ellagic acid, syringic acid, and Danshensu) [157]
Those include: Minoxidil , an FDA-approved topical medication proven to improve hair loss during menopause Finasteride (available by prescription under the brand name Propecia), another medication proven to help improve menopause-related hair loss, available in a topical and oral medication Topical solutions that contain various combinations of ingredients like finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole and latanoprost , with each ingredient coming with its own studies and evidence demonstrating impact on the hair growth cycle (more evidence than we have for GHK-Cu and hair growth!) Most clinicians will advise starting with one or all of these care solutions
