According to the Britannica encyclopedia definition, “Homeostasis is any self-regulating process by which an organism tends to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are best for its survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if it’s unsuccessful, it results in a disaster or death of the organism. The ‘stability’ that the organism reaches is rarely around an exact point (such as the idealized human body temperature of 37 °C [98.6 °F]). Stability takes place as part of a dynamic equilibrium, which can be thought of as a cloud of values within a tight range in which continuous change occurs. The result is that relatively uniform conditions prevail.”

Several factors, or variables, are involved in maintaining homeostasis in the human body: core temperature, arterial blood pressure, blood glucose and blood pH, the levels of blood gasses and blood oxygen content, iron and calcium levels, copper regulation, sodium and potassium concentrations, fluid and energy balance, cerebrospinal fluid, neurotransmission, neuroendocrine system, gene regulation…  

Copper peptides are super antioxidants produced by our bodies in the form of plasma to repair tissue. By the age of 60, however, our natural levels of copper peptides have gone down by more than half. Since our body no longer repairs itself as it used to, we can feel worn out, more tired, and sluggish.

In 1973, however, young biochemist Dr. Loren Pickart discovered a human tripeptide with an affinity for binding to copper in the body, GHK (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine). Dr. Pickart’s extensive research showed that this naturally occurring copper peptide, or GHK-Cu, was able to reverse our cells’ aging process.

Today we also know that an increase in copper peptides, or GHK-Cu, not only restores our genes to a younger state, but it also promotes attracts healthy immune cells. It promotes the growth of blood vessels and helps regenerate collagen and elastin. This is why copper peptides have recently become a sought-after ingredient in skin and hair care products.

When using LifeWave X39 patches, copper peptides are elevated in the bloodstream, helping to reverse our cells’ aging process. With younger cells, we heal faster and feel more energetic. 

Peptides are similar to proteins, but they are smaller and often easier to assimilate. Both peptides and proteins are considered to be the body’s basic building blocks, though peptides are shorter strings of amino acids, or molecules needed to make proteins. 

Peptides have several valuable functions. Notably, they are communication devices used by the body to initiate important chemical processes like antioxidant production, and inflammation control.
