In laboratory studies, Antibalder is associated with research in areas such as:
- stimulation of hair follicles and hair growth,
- improving scalp microcirculation,
- anti-fibrotic and regenerative effects of GHK-Cu,
- influence on the expression of growth factors and angiogenesis,
- synergistic action of two mechanisms (GHK-Cu + Minoxidil).

What is Antibalder?
Antibalder is a combined research preparation containing GHK-Cu (a copper tripeptide) and Minoxidil (a pyrimidine derivative). While GHK-Cu is mainly studied for its regenerative, anti-fibrotic and epigenetic effects, minoxidil is known as a substance that increases blood flow and microcirculation in skin tissue.
The synergy of these two mechanisms is being studied in laboratory research in relation to hair follicles, stimulation of growth factors and support for scalp regeneration.
How does Antibalder work?
GHK-Cu is a small copper-binding peptide that influences the expression of hundreds of genes related to regeneration, healing, and angiogenesis. In skin models, it is associated with extracellular matrix repair and vascularization.
Minoxidil acts as a potassium channel opener and vasodilator, improving blood flow and nutrient and oxygen supply to the follicles. In combination with GHK-Cu, a synergistic effect is being investigated to revitalize hair follicles and prolong the anagen phase of the growth cycle.
Researched effects and interesting facts
-
Hair growth: The combination acts on the follicles by increasing blood flow and ECM regeneration.
-
Microcirculation: Minoxidil improves blood flow in the scalp.
-
Anti-fibrotic effect: GHK-Cu is being studied for the reduction of scarring and fibrotic processes.
-
Synergy: The combined effect of two different mechanisms on the hair cycle.
-
Epigenetic action: GHK-Cu regulates the expression of genes associated with regeneration and angiogenesis.
