Cosmetic preparations that are not appropriately stabilised, packaged or stored can degrade, which means the active peptide content at the point of use may be substantially below what is stated on the label

Plausible degradation pathways include: Serum aminopeptidases (cleaving from the N-terminus) Endopeptidases (internal bond cleavage) Hepatic uptake and degradation Renal clearance (though direct renal excretion of intact peptide of this size is typically limited) Whether BPC-157 generates active metabolites i.e., smaller peptide fragments that retain biological activity is not established in the public literature

A 2023 paper shows that copper peptides can support healthy hair growth with minimal side effects, although the authors concluded that more research is needed
