Peptides for Hair Growth: GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and GHK-Biotin

If you’ve been watching your hairline shift or your density decline and are wondering what to do next, our recommendation is clear: peptides. More specifically, peptides for hair growth, and especially topical peptides, are being praised for their ability to communicate directly with cells and support true regeneration..

Let’s take a look at the most effective peptides for hair health—the very ingredients we use in our AnagenX hair growth formula. But first, if you want to solve a problem, you need to understand it.

Understanding Hair Loss

The Basics of Hair Growth and Loss

Hair growth is complex—each strand cycles through growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and rest (telogen). Ideally, most of your follicles are actively growing. But stress, aging, hormones, inflammation, poor nutrition, and environmental damage can interfere with this natural process. Over time, follicles shrink, thin out, or go dormant entirely.

And here’s something that doesn’t get said enough: hair health is scalp health. When the skin beneath your hair is compromised—whether from inflammation, oxidative stress, or reduced blood flow—your hair can't thrive. It’s important to foster an environment where thick, healthy strands can flourish.

What’s Missing in Traditional Treatments

So what’s on the market today? Minoxidil and finasteride dominate the scene—but not without side effects or limitations. Minoxidil can cause skin irritation or unwanted hair growth in odd places (Suchonwanit et al., 2019). Finasteride? It’s been linked to hormonal changes and even sexual dysfunction in some users (Mysore, 2012). And then there are surgical solutions, which—though sometimes effective—can be expensive, invasive, and offer mixed results.

That’s why topical peptides are currently at the forefront of hair loss technology. They offer a clean, non-invasive, science backed alternative to otherwise riskier treatments. Here’s how they do it:

How Peptides Send Signals for Growth and Repair

Peptides are tiny chains of amino acids that act as messengers. They penetrate the scalp and “talk” directly to your follicular cells, telling them to increase blood flow, boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and extend the hair growth phase.

Peptides aren’t like synthetic drugs that override your biology. They work with it by mimicking naturally occurring compounds your body already knows how to use, encouraging active regrowth and strengthening your existing strands at the molecular level.

Hair Growth Peptides That Work

Now let’s explore three peptides that are redefining the rules of hair restoration—and how each contributes to the unique power of AnagenX, the cutting-edge hair loss system from Scantifix.

GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is one of the most well-researched copper peptides for hair growth, known for its ability to stimulate follicle regeneration and support healthier, thicker strands. Originally discovered in human plasma, this copper-bound peptide plays a key role in tissue remodeling, collagen synthesis, and the reactivation of dormant hair follicles. It has the ability to shift follicles back into the anagen (growth) phase.

In one study, GHK-Cu was shown to increase hair follicle size and stimulate the proliferation of dermal papilla cells—critical for initiating new hair growth (Pickart & Margolina, 2018). Moreover, Falla & Nagaraja (2010) found that application of GHK‑Cu topical treatment has been associated with a ~27 % increase in hair density and Taub & Garrett (2011) reported a 70 % reduction in shedding within three months.

Stable BPC-157

Originally derived from a protective protein found in the gut, BPC-157 has gained attention for its role in soft tissue healing and tissue regeneration. Now it’s emerging as a powerful peptide for hair growth. 

Here’s why: hair follicles don’t grow in isolation—they rely on a supportive environment (or scalp). Inflammation, oxidative stress, and poor circulation can disrupt that environment, making it harder for follicles to function normally, let alone thrive. One of the most compelling BPC-157 benefits for hair is its ability to calm those disruptive forces. It helps reduce local inflammation, supports blood flow, and assists in repairing the skin barrier—effectively restoring order to a stressed-out scalp so that follicles can grow stronger and other peptides in AnagenX can work more effectively.

GHK-Biotin

GHK-Biotin, also known as Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, is a powerful combination of the B vitamin Biotin and the tripeptide GHK. Biotin is well-loved in the world of haircare for its ability to stimulate keratin production, a protein that strengthens hair. GHK is known for its regenerative properties, increasing blood flow and oxygenation to hair follicles to stimulate growth. When paired, GHK-biotin helps anchor and strengthen hair by reinforcing the structure of the hair shaft and surrounding tissue, while cellular-level stimulation supports regrowth and overall strand resilience.

In a clinical study, men with alopecia who applied a GHK-Biotin solution twice daily for four months showed increased follicular activity and a higher percentage of hair in the active growth (anagen) phase compared to those using a placebo (Trüeb et al., 2007).

AnagenX: From Research to Results

Scantifix has set out to revolutionize hair loss treatments with cutting-edge peptide research and pure, transparent ingredients. AnagenX is the result of that—combining GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and GHK-Biotin in one clean, powerful formula to support stronger, fuller, healthier hair.

Why This Peptide Trio Works

On their own, each of these peptides supports hair health in a powerful way. But combined in a single, high-purity formula, they create a layered and synergistic approach to restoration. GHK-Cu helps reactivate dormant follicles. BPC-157 supports the scalp environment and improves nutrient flow. GHK-Biotin strengthens existing strands at the root and reinforces hair structure.

Together, these peptides target hair loss and overall hair health from every angle: stimulation, support, and strand integrity. It’s a smarter strategy for fuller, stronger hair.

AnagenX vs. Other Hair Treatments

Let’s be honest: most hair care brands rely on buzzwords, filler ingredients, and peptides in barely-there amounts—often with impurities they never disclose. AnagenX is different. It’s designed to be the best hair serum by using only high-purity peptides at clinically effective concentrations, verified through transparent third-party testing.

Through diligent research, we have even found the most effective, clean alternatives to chemical preservatives—and they’re actually peptides too. ProBiocin V™ boosts preservation while delivering soothing benefits to the scalp and Leucidal® SF Complete restricts the growth of microorganisms by acidifying their environment

Here’s what else sets us apart:

• 100% pure GHK-Cu—the highest purity available on the market
• MIRON Violetglass bottle preserves and enhances quality by filtering harmful light
• Vegan and cruelty-free formula
  

AnagenX is built on real science, real transparency, and real ingredients that serve a purpose. It’s a hair care solution that actually cares. 

What to Expect with Consistent Use

Hair growth is a complex process, influenced by everything from cellular signaling to overall scalp health. AnagenX is designed to support that process naturally—using clean, high-purity peptides without harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.

With consistent daily use, many users begin to notice visible changes—like reduced shedding, improved scalp condition, and signs of regrowth—around the 120 to 150 day mark. For even greater impact, our Dome Beamer Hair Loss Helmet and HydroDerma Pen QS can help enhance absorption and activate follicles at a deeper level.

Ready to Regrow and Rebuild?

At Scantifix, we’re on a mission to redefine how hair loss is understood and addressed with the advanced technology of peptides for hair growth. With their low risk profile, ease-of-use, and ability to activate deeper biological pathways, topical peptides are delivering real results without the harsh tradeoffs of traditional treatments.

If you’re ready for a smarter approach to hair health, AnagenX is it. Our multi-peptide formula supports regrowth, strengthens strands, and restores confidence—without harsh chemicals or filler ingredients. Just clean, high-purity peptides, full ingredient transparency, and a commitment to doing things differently—for the health of your hair, and the health of you.
