It plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, supporting the immune system, and aiding in detoxification
As mentioned previously, although reduced glutathione, GSH, is the best form of glutathione to take, its absorption is hindered by its deactivation by stomach acids
Gene Expression Regulation: Research using gene array analysis has reported that GHK-Cu influences the expression of over 4,000 human genes in cellular models including broad upregulation of tissue repair, antioxidant defence, and anti-inflammatory genes, and downregulation of genes associated with inflammation and oxidative stress making it one of the most extensively gene-profiled small peptides in biomedical research
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to pernicious anemia, a form of anemia that can result in irreversible nerve damage known as pernicious neuropathy
It also supports keratin production, which can help brittle nails that often appear after delivery
