Transcriptomic studies Microarray and RNA-seq studies of cells exposed to GHK-Cu have reported broad gene-expression effects spanning collagen and matrix genes, antioxidant defense genes, DNA repair genes, immune-related genes, and cellular metabolism genes
Support may include CoQ10, L-carnitine, riboflavin (B2), and other mitochondrial nutrients
