In this monologue, Nikki McCutchen describes how the X39 patch is claimed to activate the peptide GHK‑Cu (also written GHKCU) in the body. She references Loren Picard’s book on GHK copper peptides, noting that research from over 50 years ago suggests GHK can awaken dormant stem cells. McCutchen explains that re‑activating these stem cells could reverse aspects of the normal aging process, restoring the body’s regenerative capacity to a more youthful state—comparing a child’s quick recovery from a knee scrape to an elderly person’s slower healing. The overall message is that the X39 patch, by stimulating GHK‑Cu, may promote balance, stability, and healthier aging through stem‑cell regeneration.

Chapters

With the X39, what it's activating in your body is GHKCU. It was found by Loren Picard. This is his book that you can order lots of places, GHK Copper Peptides. But he goes into all of the different ways that GHK influences the body and what it does in our body and how it affects us. And so several of the things that he found over 50 years ago is that GHK can activate your own body's dormant stem cells. And so as we age, the natural body's process that it goes through when we start feeling those aches and pains and we start having different conditions. That's just the normal aging process that happens. But if we can activate our own body stem cells, it can help to reset and bring us back to a younger, healthier state, like when we were a kid. If a child falls down and skins his knee, you know, he's going to get right back up and start playing. If Grandma falls down and hurts her knee, she may not get back up. And so if we can help to get those stem cells back up and going, regenerating, doing what they've been designed to do in the body, then we can help to influence our body to bring more balance and stability to our everyday life.
