Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (Pal-GHK) 200mg

Pal-GHK, also called Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, is a synthetic peptide, a collagen fragment presenting the sequence N-(1-oxohexadecyl)glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine). The GHK sequence of this peptide consists of three amino acids (Gly-His-Lys), commonly found in plasma, which is attached to a palmitic acid molecule.

 

The importance of the added palmitic group is in increasing lipophilicity (the ability to dissolve in fats, oil, lipids) which allows it to penetrate the stratum corneum of the epidermal barrier better. This makes the peptide as a whole, more compatible with the lipid-rich environment, better overall penetration and absorption.

 

Pal-GHK Action and Potential Application

Pal-GHK, or palmitoyl tripeptide-1, has been studied for its potential effects on collagen and overall skin health and pigmentation. Scientists are mainly interested in its ability to stimulate collagen production and boost blood vessel growth.

 

The “success” of Pal-GHK peptide relies heavily on the body’s natural ability to initiate collagen production when it gets damaged. When collagen in our body gets damaged, whe are left with fragments which then signal our body to start producing more of it. And this very process was identified in 1988 when it was found that the GHK section is that actual fragment that signals collagen production response.

 

And the Pal section, as we already said, was designed merely as a “vehicle” which allows for the rest of the peptide compound to penetrate the skin barrier and better dissolve in the tissue below.

 

Even though we are still missing more comprehensive, human studies, animal models showed Pal-GHK was able to protect the skin better, increase collagen production, as well as elastin, and restore moisture and fullness. Besides acting on its own, Pal-GHK peptide was also shown to be an amazing complementary ingredient, able to boost the effectiveness of other skin care products and further improve their skin care, reduce wrinkles and minimize photodamage.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 200mg

CAD $294.80
In many different online sources, this peptide has been incorrectly referred to as Acetyl-Hexapeptide-3, which became a common, household name for it (this is why we still refer to it as such, to avoid confusing our customers), but it’s scientific name is acetyl hexapeptide-8 (also going under the original trade name Argireline).   This peptide is known for its water-binding and skin-restoring abilities; this is why it’s found such a wide application in the skincare industry.

AHK (Tripeptide-3) 200mg

CAD $241.20
AHK is a short peptide with the following sequence – Ala-His-Lys. It displays a powerful effect on fibroblasts (those are the types of cells that contribute to the formation of connective tissue and the growth of the extracellular matrix), but some research suggests it also promotes the growth of blood vessels.   AHK will also transform growth factor beta-1 and increase VEGF.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 200mg

CAD $246.60
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (also known as Rigin) is another synthetic peptide in Peptide.Shop’s offer, and is composed of the following amino acids:
  • Glutamine
  • Glycine
  • Arginine and
  • Proline
As already mentioned, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is a synthetic peptide, a fragment of immunoglobulin G, which presents in the sequence N-(1-oxohexadecyl)glycyl-L-glutaminyl-L-prolyl-L-arginine. Much like Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-7 can also be synthesized using two different solid-phase methodologies. Without going into too much detail on the actual methodologies, we can say that the second one uses a soluble fragment to improve the water solubility of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-7, so that it becomes easier to purify. What this peptide does is it decreases IL-6 secretion, reduces inflammation due to UVB exposure, stimulates laminin IV and V as well as collagen VII production. Since its discovery, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 has undergone several research studies to determine its effectiveness in skin related conditions as well as its potential in wound healing. These studies did show this synthetic peptide can be used as a crucial skin-restoring ingredient because it soothes the skin by disrupting factors that cause irritation (such as UVB light induced one), as well as preventing skin’s loss of firmness. Essentially, it helped the skin regain firmness, which is why research is also geared towards using this peptide in wrinkle repair serums. On the other hand, there is little to no evidence that it helps with wound healing. We still need more studies in this regard. Reference: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8400021/

Lipopeptide 200mg

CAD $294.80
A lipopeptide is a molecule which basically consists of lipids that are connected to a peptide; they are even able to self-assemble into different structures.   This ability allows for incredible versatility, giving lipopeptides the ability to be used in the creation of antibiotics, toll-like receptor agonists, antifungal and hemolytic activities; they can also interact with plasma membranes and display bactericidal activity.

Decapeptide-12 200mg

CAD $321.60
Decapeptide-12 is a synthetic peptide, which acts as tyrosinase inhibitor (tyrosinase  is actually a group of enzymes that contribute to the skin pigmentation process and skin melanin regulation).   Decapeptide-12 was developed at Stanford University and created as a means of promoting the expression of melanin in hopes of fighting skin hyperpigmentation and dark spots.   Though we are still missing large scale scientific studies, some preliminary data shows positive results.

Syn-AKE 200mg

CAD $287.70
Syn-AKE is an anti-wrinkle active peptide compound which is based on a synthetic tripeptide. This synthetic peptide mimics the effects of Waglerin 1, which is a naturally occurring peptide found in the venom of the temple viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri). This synthetic peptide became a useful ingredient in cosmetics because it reduces muscle cell contractions, which is vital in smoothing mimic wrinkles. The only downside being, of course, this effect is short-lasting and reversible. Nonetheless, Syn-AKE is being used more and more in anti aging and wrinkle defying skincare formulations.
