Also known as GHK-Cu, copper peptides are naturally occurring complexes made up of a short peptide bound to a copper ion
Unique Origin Genetic Code: Unlike most peptides, which are coded by the nuclear genome, MOTS-c is encoded by a short open reading frame (sORF) within the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), specifically the 12S rRNA region
This molecule, largely composed of three amino acids, helps protect us from the toxic effects of heavy metals (such as copper, zinc, silver, and mercury) that can harm our bodies, thereby supporting a strong immune system
