The Effect of Copper Peptide on Fingernails

Copper peptide is a fairly new product that made its debut in 1997. It is a compound that aids in generation the production of elastin and collagen, and is also an effective antioxidant. It not only helps in firming and softening the skin, but it also aids in fingernail growth and repair.

History

• Copper peptides were first used to heal horses' hooves.

  The effectiveness of copper peptide was first observed when the state of Washington had a particularly long rainy spell, and the skin and hooves of horses became especially irritated. Copper peptides were applied, which healed their skin. However, it was also noticed that the horses' hooves were making progress towards healing and cracks were closing.

Human Nail Improvement

• Copper peptide can aid in human fingernail improvement.

  As the biochemistry of a human fingernail is comparable to a horse hoof, it wasn't long before peptides were tested on human toenails and fingernails. It was discovered that copper peptide creams aided in the healing of human nails and promoted healthy growth.

How it Works

• Copper peptides increases protein collagen.

  The secret behind the healing power of copper peptide is that it increases the amount of protein collagen in fingernails, which in turn can repair the nail and nail bed.
