Follipro's(TM) New & Patented Copper Peptide technology is Dr.Pickart's most effective Copper Peptides system to date. These breakdown/resistant improved Copper Peptides give a longer acting and stronger skin regeneration and also can be used with hydroxy acids and Retin-A. The single peptides (Tripeptides or Pentapeptideds) used in many products are fragile, short acting, and can not be used with hydroxy acids. Extensive safety testing has proven Follipro(TM) Copper Peptides to be non-allergenic sensitization problems of the bacterial produced Copper Peptides nor the biological inactivity (colorless copper) of copper complexes used by some irresponsible cosmetic companies.

Copper Peptides were designed by Dr. Loren Pickart whose previous inventions have produced clinically proven products for the health of hair and scalp such as products for hair transplantation sold as Graficyte. Advanced hair restoration technology for improving the success of hair transplants consisting of: Graficyte moist dressings and Graficyte hydrating mist.

Copper Peptide Technology for skin or hair regeneration products were designed by Dr. Loren Pickart. The discovery of the tissue regenerative actions of Copper Peptides. His studies on the basic mechanisms on human aging led to his discovery on the human Copper Peptide, GHK COPPER, a human activator of regeneration and remodeling. He is the inventor on numerous patents on tissue regeneration and has designed Copper Peptides for skin renewal, hair growth stimulation, hair transplantation, wound healing, bone repair and intestinal healing. To convert these scientific breakthroughs into useful products for hospital uses, nursing home care and cosmetic uses.

Follipro(TM) is currently using products built on Pickart's newest generation of biological skin regeneration Copper Peptides that possess greatly enhanced potency, strong breakdown resistance, a longer duration of action, and very high adherence to the skin. The first-generation products performed well in many controlled tests. However, they failed some of the FDA clinical trials. Some of this may have been due to the high level of placebo effects often observed in studies, but this second generation of more robust and virile Copper Peptides should have a higher chance of success in difficult clinical trials.

Copper Peptides help strengthen hair while stimulating hair follicles to produce healthier hair. Copper Peptides have been shown to strengthen and rebuild critical collagen bundles in the skin, helping nourish these areas vital for healthy hair growth.

Just how promising is this Copper Peptide compound?
Consider this: many large pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies are already eyeing for a piece of the action. Procter & Gamble has followed suit and patented as hair growth compounds a number of copper complexes with peptides and similar compounds. Cosmetic giant, NEUTROGENA, a Johnson & Johnson company, has announced plans to introduce a line of hair products formulated with Copper Peptide.

The skin of a mouse was shaved, then treated in three spots with Copper Peptides shampoo. The result is a much more rapid hair growth in the three spots treated with Copper Peptides. While human hair growth will not respond nearly as dramatically as in mice, skin health and follicle function are closely interrelated. New skin appears to arise from the hair follicle. As a person ages, our hair follicles get small, producing thinner hair shafts. The blood circulation system that supplies nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicle send fewer blood vessels to the hair follicle, thus inhibiting the vital flow of nutrients to the hair follicle.

Copper Peptide complexes improve skin health and a more healthy skin increases the blood vessel network to the hair follicles resulting in larger follicles that grow hair faster with thicker hair shafts.
