Redox signaling: thiol chemistry defines which reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can act as second messengers
This two-pronged approach makes GHK-Cu a powerful ingredient for protecting our skin from the damaging effects of the environment and aging
Compounds that serve as antioxidants, such as enzymes (e.g., Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase [SOD], extracellular SOD, Mn-SOD, glutathione peroxidase, catalase) and low-molecular-weight antioxidants (e.g., uric acid and ascorbate), are induced early after ischemia and trauma

Ways to Eat : Add these foods to eat to lighten skin as salads, make fresh tomato juice, or blend them into your daily smoothie
Because less of it is bound and held in reserve, more is free to engage the IGF-1 receptor locally, which is the basis for its reported ~10-fold greater in-vitro potency at stimulating cell proliferation and hypertrophy
