Tripeptide-1 ( Copper Tripeptide-1 )
Many of the most powerful benefits of Tripeptide-1 ( Copper Tripeptide-1 ) are related to its combination with copper and its ability to bind and transfer copper ions . This quality is also related to its strong ability to mitigate oxidative stress . 7 Copper itself is associated with many enzymes in the human body that benefit tissue repair , metabolism , inflammation , and synthesis of vital molecules . 8 Copper metal ions are themselves found in high concentrations in healing wounds and are important in wound healing and inflammatory processes .

The design of the skin causes it to be an effective barrier . Molecules of larger size , in general around 500 Daltons or about five to six amino acids , are unable to penetrate the skin barrier . 9 Tripeptide-1 ( Copper Tripeptide-1 ) consists of three amino acids . It easily penetrates the stratum corneum barrier . 10
Topical and Aesthetic Benefits
The same benefits of Tripeptide-1 ( Copper Tripeptide-1 ) as used in iS Clinical products are expected no matter what the molecule is called . This molecule comes to the skin ’ s aid during times of injury and / or regeneration . It is one of the body ’ s important emergency response molecules .
Wound Healing and Regeneration
Repair processes begin when signaled via the release of Tripeptide-1 ( Copper Tripeptide-1 ) from injured tissue . Many research articles support the role of this molecule in healing human and animal wounds of many types . 11 12 13 14 These wound varieties include surgical 15 16 , post-laser 17 , Mohs 18 , ischemic 19 , burns , large skin grafts 20 , hair transplants 21 , refractory venous stasis ulcers 22 , diabetic ulcers 23 , and others . Diabetic wounds , notoriously difficult to heal , healed three times faster in the presence of Tripeptide-1 ( Copper Tripeptide-1 ) and time to re-epithelialization was shortened . 24
The digital photos below and the following table are from the iS Clinical Clinical Study for Super Serum Advance + which contains Tripeptide-1 ( Copper Tripeptide-1 ). 25 In this study , identical full-thickness surgical wounds were made with a scalpel and sutured with 7-0 nylon . Sutures were removed in seven days and product application with Super Serum Advance + began on one wound while the other was left to heal without product application . The results clearly demonstrate the benefits of product application for wound healing .
