Here is a press release for another magical cure (*cough*) for hair loss. Actually, they try to make this sound like some grand new discovery, but once you get to the last paragraph you realize they are just selling a shampoo called Follipro. I have used copper peptides in my practice for the impact on wound healing in some of my patients. It seems to have value in minimizing post-operative pink discoloration in some patients. The company which sells it does claim hair growth benefits, but I have never seen these benefits.
Press releases need to be looked at carefully, for they do not always tell an accurate story.

Regarding illness elimination, peptides were given to cancer, cardiovascular disease/dysfunction, diabetic issues as well as stomach disease/dysfunction. Coming from a well-being, overall performance and even maintenance viewpoint, peptides have already been given to cognition, stomach healthcare, skin health and cosmetics, sports/athletic effectiveness as well as weight-loss. Now there are numerous peptides commercially ready to the nutraceuticals market.
