The Peptide Research Problem Hiding Behind Skin, Collagen and Hair Claims: Why Laboratory Results, Human Trials and Product Formulations Tell Three Very Different Stories

The Peptide Research Problem Hiding Behind Skin, Collagen and Hair Claims: Why Laboratory Results, Human Trials and Product Formulations Tell Three Very Different Stories

Peptide science has an unusual communication problem. A compound can produce an interesting result in cultured skin cells, appear promising in an animal experiment, and still lack convincing evidence that a finished product will produce a m

The Skin Research Evidence Gap: Why Copper Peptide Experiments, Collagen Supplement Trials and Hair-Follicle Studies Cannot Be Judged by the Same Scientific Standard

The Skin Research Evidence Gap: Why Copper Peptide Experiments, Collagen Supplement Trials and Hair-Follicle Studies Cannot Be Judged by the Same Scientific Standard

A copper peptide changes the behavior of skin cells in a laboratory dish. A collagen supplement produces a statistically significant change in skin hydration. A hair-follicle experiment shows increased activity in an animal model. All three
